Block Chrome Remote Desktop

[Pedro3]

Hello…

I have installed Chrome Remote Desktop in the computers of some of my friends that don't understand much about computers and one of them asked how can he turn that feature off?

Even with Chrome disconnected I can access the computer. What he wants is to use the computer without the risk of me enter the computer, maybe he doesn't want me to see him surfing some "dubious" sites

Thank you!

As I have no idea what OS he's using... Uninstall it?

One is OSX the other Windows 7, but it needs to be a simple solution, since we are talking about elder people that don't understand very much about computers.

Uninstall doesn't make no sense since I need to enter the computers once in a while.

Don't know about OSX but in windows 7 there is a built in remote desktop option that can be accessed (activated and deactivated) via right cicking computer>>properties>>remote settings

BUT, if we are talking about an Elderly person, and you don't really care about their browsing habits, why not simply tell him to ignore the fact that it's active if you are the one and only person who CAN access it?
By your own admission, you state you will need remote access

 

Edit ‌Riva makes a good point, Teamviewer is a good alternative

Can't seem to find "continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" (see attach).

I was using Team Viewer, but it closes after 5 minutes and sometimes I'm almost 30m with them (they are very slow).

Most of them just don't care if I can get in wherever I want, but there is always one or two picky guys and I didn't wanted to ignore them.

I have no add ons, but I have found a solution:

OSX go to System Preferences -> Chrome Remote Desktop -> Disable Remote Connections

Windows -> Open Chrome Remote Desktop -> Disable Connections

It's not just one click but it's the best offer.

Thank you all for trying.
