Windows Remote Assistance
Alternatively called Remote Assistance, Windows Remote Assistance is a Microsoft Windows feature introduced with Windows XP that allows others to connect to your computer.
Windows 10 introduced Quick Assist as a replacement for Windows Remote Assistance.

Using Remote Assistance, a computer user can allow another person to view their computer screen, get help with how to perform specific tasks or fix issues. Remote assistance also allows another person to remotely control the mouse cursor and type commands into the computer without being at the computer.
With Computer Hope's limited staff, we cannot remotely assist anyone with their computer. However, some Computer Hope volunteers in the forums may be willing to remotely help you computer-related issues. If you choose to do so, remember you're giving this person access to your computer and the actions they take should be carefully monitored.
