The Quick Assist application allows two people to share a computer over a remote connection so that one person can help solve problems on the other’s computer.
The person with the problem asks for support from a helper (friend or Microsoft support). Both must start Quick Assist and the assistant sends a security code to the person in need. The helper enters the code and grants permission to the helper, then the helper can take control of the helper’s computer and provide assistance over a remote connection.
When you get help, you allow someone you trust to support you by taking control of your computer. This guide will show you how to quickly and easily get remote assistance using the Quick Assist app in Windows 10.
