Run Team Viewer while PC is off ?)

Aug 24, 2014 8:36AM PDT

Guys I need help,
I need to open ( Team Viewer ) on my work PC while my its off.

Here is the details :
I have a PC on my work place, and I need it to turn it on remotely or automatically.
I`ve founded that I can turn it on at a specified time via BIOS configurations ( BOOT SETUP ), But when ( Windows ) started up there will be ( Windows LOG IN screen ), that will interrupts ( Windows ) to start up and load the Programs on ( Task Manager ).
I know its easy to put ( Team Viewer ) to start once you log in to ( Windows ) but again there will be ( Windows LOG IN screen ).
So the problem is that I will be still not allowed to start any ( Program ) unless I pass the ( Windows LOG IN screen ).

Here is my idea :
Is there a way to bypass ( Windows LOG IN screen ) so my steps will work probably ?

Here is the summery steps :
1 - BIOS configurations
X - * LOG IN SCREEN PROBLEM * <--- My problem
3 - Put ( Team Viewer ) in start up

otherwise is there any other way ?

So why not auto log in?

Now remember this is a work place so your IT staffer may have a policy against all this but they will also know how to log in automatically. Best let them guide you rather than break some work rule and lose your job.

Don't leave out details. Auto logon on every version of windows is now on the web. Since you left out the version of Windows, well you may want to holster the ire and tell a little more.

You'd be surprised

You'd be surprised at how many people do come here looking for ways to end-run the company IT people and do all manner of things that are probably grounds for instant dismissal, and that's if they're lucky.

That the reason
Aug 24, 2014 11:22AM PDT

That the reason Bob responded as he did the first time around is because there are plenty of people who will show up here and want to do this or that with a work system. Things that would make the company IT staff cranky and quite probably be grounds for being fired on the spot. In a few cases what the person wanted to do could be considered illegal.

I AGREE

I totally I agree , and believe me only mannered people will not do illegal things

How to run team viewer
Sep 1, 2014 3:53PM PDT

You can never run the team viewer when the PC is off. You can only search different ways to switch it on when you are not in reach of it, and auto logon is perhaps the only way to turn on your PC when you are at a different place.
