UltraViewer is a free remote desktop tool that lets you control another PC or let someone else control yours over the internet. It is faster to set up than TeamViewer and requires no account registration. Windows 11 runs it without any compatibility issues.
This guide covers how to download UltraViewer, install it, and use it in both directions, whether you are giving help or receiving it.

What You Can Do During a Session
Once connected, UltraViewer gives you a toolbar at the top of the screen with the following options:

- File Transfer — send or receive files between the two PCs
- Screenshot — capture the remote screen
- Disconnect — end the session immediately
Both users can end the session at any time from either side.

Codes Not Working? Session Won’t Connect?
If the connection fails, check these first:
- Make sure both PCs have an active internet connection
- Confirm the ID and password were shared correctly with no typos
- Check that Windows Firewall is not blocking UltraViewer (add it as an exception if needed)
- Try restarting UltraViewer on both sides and use the newly generated password
