How to Use VNC Viewer in Stealth Mode

https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-use-vnc-viewer-in-stealth-mode


VNC is a great tool for remotely connecting to your computer while you're away, or to provide technical support to a friend or colleague by taking control of his system. There are some cases, however, where VNC is used to monitor others' computer usage in places like computer labs. In these situations, it is important that the user is unaware of this monitoring.

Step

On the Server PC, open the "Start" menu and start up the VNC Server application. This should put a small "V" icon into your System Tray.

Step

Right-click the "V" icon in your System Tray and select "Configuration."

Step

Under the "Server" tab, uncheck the boxes labeled "Hide desktop wallpaper" and "Show icon in notification area."


Step

Click "OK" to save your changed settings and close the dialog box.

Step

Right-click the "V" icon again, then select "Shutdown VNC Server."

Step

Open the "Start Menu" again and restart the VNC Server application. If you did everything correctly, the "V" icon will not show up and, when you connect remotely using the VNC Viewer application, the Server PC's wallpaper will not vanish. You can now monitor the Server PC without anyone knowing that the VNC Server is running.
