What's New

  • Phone task manager: Paired Android phones can inspect and control Windows processes from FrostLock Remote. The task manager has a searchable process list with app icons, live CPU/memory/disk/network charts, process details, and End task / Force end / Restart / Start task actions.
  • Run commands from the phone: With phone task control enabled, FrostLock Remote can send a command through cmd.exe /c on the PC. Its output stays on the PC and is not shown on the phone.
  • Freeze when idle: Optionally start a freeze after a chosen number of minutes without keyboard or mouse input. It uses the selected mode and duration, and the arm delay still lets you cancel.
  • Phone task control setting: A new opt-in switch in Settings → LAN & phone. It is off by default and is turned off when LAN control is disabled.
  • FrostLock Remote 1.1.0: The Android companion adds the widget, Quick Settings tile, freeze notification, task manager, and connection details. Download it from the FrostLock Remote releases page.

Improvements & Changes

  • The idle countdown restarts when the PC wakes, when Windows is unlocked, or when a freeze ends, so time asleep is not counted as idle time.
  • Freeze when idle skips Hard and USB key mode, since they need a prompt or a drive, and never raises a UAC prompt or a "set a PIN" dialog.
  • The task manager protects FrostLock and core Windows processes, and reports a reason when an action is refused.
  • Phone task control requires FrostLock Remote 1.1.0 or newer.
  • README updated for 1.6.0.

Security

  • Phone task control is off by default and can be turned off at any time in Settings → LAN & phone.
  • Commands run in the signed-in desktop session through the same authenticated task endpoint, so no extra PC permission is needed beyond task control.
  • Hard and USB-triggered freezes remain PC-only. Remote release for PIN mode stays off unless the PC owner enables it.
  • No cloud relay or router port forwarding is required. Windows Firewall may need an inbound rule on the Private profile.
