Fix 1: Disable PIN-Less Authentication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chrome Remote Desktop lets you pair your trusted devices with your computer. This eliminates the need to enter the security PIN whenever you access your computer. However, this feature may also cause problems at times. Try disabling the PIN-less authentication feature on your computer to see if that works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Press the Windows key + R<\/strong> to open the Run dialog > type regedit<\/em><\/strong> in the box > press Enter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Paste the following path in the address bar at the top and press Enter <\/strong>to navigate to the Policies key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Right-click on the Chrome<\/strong> key > go to New<\/strong> > select DWORD (32-bit) Value<\/strong> > name it RemoteAccessHostAllowClientPairing<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fix 2: Delete the Paired Client and Connect Again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Another thing to fix Chrome Remote Desktop is to remove all the paired clients and start over. This will help clear out any temporary glitches and re-establish the remote connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Open the Chrome Remote Desktop app<\/strong> on your PC or navigate to the Chrome Remote Desktop page<\/strong> in your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2:<\/strong> On the Remote Access tab, click on View\/Edit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Delete<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
After completing the above steps, set up the remote computer<\/a> again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fix 3: Repair or Reinstall Chrome Remote Desktop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Problems with the Chrome Remote Desktop app on your PC can also prevent it from working. Fortunately, Windows lets you repair your apps in several ways<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Press the Windows key + I to open the Settings app > go to Apps > Installed apps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Scroll down or use the search bar at the top to locate the Chrome Remote Desktop Host on the list. Click the three-dot menu icon<\/strong> next to it and select Repair<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Repair<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Wait for Windows to repair the app. If the problem persists, uninstall the Chrome Remote Desktop app and install it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fix 4: Reinstall Google Chrome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you still have trouble connecting while using the Chrome Remote Desktop extension, try reinstalling the browser on your PC. This will resolve issues caused by corrupt data and update the browser to its latest version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Press the Windows key + R<\/strong> to open the Run dialog > type appwiz.cpl<\/em><\/strong> in the Open field > press Enter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Locate and select Google Chrome<\/strong> > click on Uninstall<\/strong> at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Uninstall<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Follow the on-screen prompts to finish removing the browser. Once done, reinstall Google Chrome<\/a> on your PC, and the Chrome Remote Desktop extension should work as before.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
