Remote Control v2.0.0

Complete ground-up rebuild in C# 12 / .NET 8 / Windows Forms of the original VB.NET RemoteControl v1.6.5 by Chris Tschantz (2012).

What's new

  • Rebuilt from scratch in C# / .NET 8 (originally VB.NET / .NET 3.5)
  • Switched from RealVNC Viewer to TightVNC Viewer
  • Modern async/await pattern (replaces BackgroundWorkers)
  • Live status feedback during connection/cleanup
  • Modern firewall commands (netsh advfirewall)
  • JSON-based host storage
  • Remote files stored in C:\Windows\Temp\RCTEMP
  • Hardened IP ACL on VNC server
  • Support for ARM64 remote machines
  • Includes Prepare-RemoteMachine.ps1 companion script for home/workgroup machines

Downloads

RemoteControl.exe — self-contained, no .NET installation required. Just copy to any Windows 10/11 machine and run.

Prepare-RemoteMachine.ps1 — run this once on each target machine that is not on a domain (home/workgroup machines). It enables the admin share access, WMI, firewall rules, and Remote Registry that RemoteControl needs to connect. Run as Administrator:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force && .\Prepare-RemoteMachine.ps1

Requirements

  • Windows 10 or 11 (x64)
  • Local admin rights on the target machine (C$ admin share + WMI access)
