Remote Desktop: See who's connecting to your device

When an admin initiates a remote desktop session and end users are required to approve or deny it, the connection notification now shows the admin's name instead of just your company name. If the admin hasn't added a name to their profile, their email appears instead.

Note: If sessions are configured to auto-connect, the notification will still appear but will continue to show only the company name.

What changed:

Approval notifications now show: "[Org name] member [Admin Name] wants to connect to this machine"
Admins without a name set will be prompted to add one before starting a session
Admins can update display settings from the Remote Desktop settings page, including a live preview of what end users will see

Reboot devices directly from PDQ Connect

You can now reboot devices right from Connect — no PowerShell scripts, no custom packages, no workarounds.

Reboot a single device - Navigate to any device and select "Reboot device."

Reboot multiple devices at once - On the Devices page, select any group of devices and choose "Reboot" from the actions menu. For mass reboots, you'll be asked to type a confirmation phrase — a safeguard we built in intentionally given how disruptive a mass reboot can be.

Reboot history — Reboot actions appear in your deployments page so you can track what was rebooted and when.

Audit log support - Every reboot action is logged in your audit log, including who initiated it and which devices were affected.

Permission controls - A new "Reboot devices" RBAC permission gives you control over which users can trigger reboots. This permission is not enabled by default for existing roles (other than Admins) — you'll need to explicitly grant it to roles that should have access.

Works on Windows and Mac.

📣 New in PDQ Connect: Block Remote Input for Remote Desktop

You can now suppress the end user's keyboard and mouse input during a PDQ Remote session — useful when you need uninterrupted control while supporting a user who might accidentally click or type while you're working.

How to use it:

Open a remote session in PDQ RD Viewer
Go to Desktop → Block Remote Input in the session toolbar

The end user can press Esc to release the block at any time, and it clears automatically when the session ends

To get access: Update your PDQ RD Viewer — you'll see a prompt when you start a session.
