Looking for software

I want to set up remote desktop takeover for my girlfriends computer so i don't have to come down and help her with issues.

Theres RDP but setting it up to do shadow connections so she doesn't get kicked off her shows is annoying and complicated and my edibles are kicking in.

I need a super free and simple remote desktop software, any ideas?

I used to use TeamViewer years ago then it changed so I moved ro Anydesk. I really like it. Just remember to setup a password on there PC because anyone with the 6 digit code can get in.

Parsec is amazing

"Quick Assist" is built into Windows and designed to do exactly what you're looking for, but you both need to have an MS account.

IIRC, CTRL+WIN+Q to start Quick Assist.

Teamviewer is free for personal/private use, is super secure and easy to set up.

I use it between my computers and even from my phone with(mediocre) touch controls without issue.
