Remote IT Support That Actually Fixes the Root Cause (Not Just the Symptom)

24/7 Remote & Virtual Availability Remote & virtual services can be requested 24/7. After-hours sessions are available by appointment and/or managed coverage. Response time depends on urgency, scheduling, and service plan — managed clients receive priority routing.
Book Remote Support Email: support@techietownboston.town Call: (401) 516-6785
Fast triage: Text “URGENT TECHIE” to 401-516-6785.
During business hours we aim to respond within ~1 hour (often faster). After-hours response varies by queue and coverage.

Remote Support Tools We Use / Support (Official Links)

We choose tools based on your environment, device type, and security needs. Many sessions can run with built-in or lightweight options. You always approve access, and you can end the session at any time.

Windows Quick Assist Built-in (Windows)
Great for quick Windows support without a complicated setup. Quick Assist info
Chrome Remote Desktop Cross-platform
Works on most systems and is solid for remote access and support sessions. Open Chrome Remote Desktop
TeamViewer Enterprise-ready
Common for business environments that need stable remote control and support workflows. TeamViewer site
Splashtop Remote support
Fast remote support option used widely for business help desk-style sessions. Splashtop site
AnyDesk Lightweight
Quick install, good for certain environments where speed matters. AnyDesk site
Security Toolchain (Implement/Support) Managed security
Depending on your stack: endpoint management, device security, and password manager setup.
Privacy note: We avoid asking for passwords when possible — you enter credentials/2FA yourself. Remote access is always client-approved and can be ended instantly.

What We Can “Repair” Remotely (And How We Do It)

Remote support isn’t just “screen sharing.” It’s structured triage + root-cause repair, with security and stability checks baked in. Below are common issues we resolve in remote sessions.

Problem How We Fix It Typical Result
Slow computer / freezing / crashes
Windows + macOS		 Startup cleanup, storage health checks, OS + driver updates, software conflict isolation, browser cleanup, performance tuning. Faster boot, smoother apps, reduced crashing, clear “next steps” if hardware is the bottleneck.
Email not working / login loops
Microsoft 365 + Google Workspace		 Account sign-in repair, MFA reset planning, Outlook/Gmail configuration, mailbox rules cleanup, security review for compromise indicators. Email restored, safer sign-in, fewer lockouts.
Security scare / malware symptoms
Popups, redirects, suspicious extensions		 Browser + extension audit, system scans (as appropriate), removal guidance, patching, hardening, safer defaults + prevention plan. Cleaner system + reduced risk of repeat infections.
Wi-Fi/network instability
Drops, slow speeds, dead zones		 Remote diagnostics: device tests, router configuration review, channel/interference guidance, mesh placement strategy, firmware checks. More stable network and a clear plan if ISP or hardware replacement is needed.
Business user/device setup
Onboarding, standardization		 Account provisioning guidance, device configuration, security baseline checklist, password manager rollout, backup/recovery planning. Cleaner operations, fewer “one-off” problems, better security posture.
Reality check: If a device has severe hardware failure (no power, liquid damage, failing drive), remote support can still help with diagnosis + next steps, but physical repair may be required.

How to Prepare for Your Remote Appointment (So We Finish Faster)

The best remote sessions are the ones where we can connect quickly and focus on fixing — not hunting for info. Here’s the pro checklist.

1) Be Ready to Connect Have the device charged + plugged in. Use stable internet. If possible, sit near the router or use Ethernet for speed and stability.
2) Know the Goal What does “fixed” look like? Example: “Email sends reliably,” “Laptop stops overheating,” “PC boots fast,” “Accounts secured with MFA.”
3) Gather Key Details Device model + OS, what changed recently, exact error messages, and what you already tried (restarts, updates, new apps, etc.).
4) Business Clients: Scope Number of users/devices, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and which users are impacted. Faster info = faster resolution.
5) Access & Security If admin access is needed, be available to approve installs/changes. For security, you should enter passwords + 2FA yourself.
6) Quick Pre-Check Reboot the device, close unused apps/tabs, and check whether the issue happens on another network/user account (if applicable).
