Is there a way to kill/close a receiver session from the sender?  Many times I forget to close the receiver session at my home office and get to work to find I'm still connected (screen blanking).   Until now, I've been connecting from a coworkers receiver PC and kill it there to get it to disconnect.

 

Today, I tried disableing screen blanking.  That kinda helps in that I can restart the sender service which drops the receiver connection.

 

Read the manual and didn't find anything.  Am I missing something?  Seems like some keystroke combo should be able to kill the receiver connection.

This might work for you.  You have Windows 10 flagged so guessing this is the OS you are using.

Press Ctrl-Alt-Del, Tab, Tab, Enter.  This will cause the current user to log out.  You should be able to login

and then use your machine as normal.  This may not work for all versions of Windows.  Any unsaved work my prevent

this from working, and will close all of your apps. 

The other thing you could try is using RDP to remote into the receiver and then log off.  This should disconnect the RGS session, but would leave you logged in.  You could then log out via RDP and try reconnecting with RGS.
