How do I change my Host preferences?
The Host preferences enables you to customize how the GoToMyPC service starts and runs.
Start GoToMyPC

GoToMyPC Updates
- Automatically install updates: Automatically updates the host computer with the latest GoToMyPC version.
- Ask me to install updates: Informs you when a new GoToMyPC version is available, and you can decide whether to upgrade or not.
Desktop options while connected
- Automatically adjust host screen area for best full-screen viewing: When possible, resizes the host PC screen resolution to best match the client computer resolution.

- Show host PC cursor: Makes both the host and client cursors visible.
Desktop Notifications (Personal and Pro only)
