MyPC Cloud Client Guide

In this guide we will go through the steps of creating and deploying the User Client.

Please note: 

Disabling Fast Startup is a required configuration for all MyPC devices. This ensures that the MyPC Client initialises correctly on boot and shutdown. Fast Startup can interfere with background services and network initialisation, potentially causing issues with session validation and device availability.

The MyPC Client requires a continuous connection to the cloud service to operate correctly.If the computer enters sleep mode while a session is active, the booking will remain visible on the interface. During this time, the client will disconnect from the cloud service. Upon waking and reconnecting, the client will revalidate the user session.

Create your client 

To do this you do require user rights to carry out this task. You will need to be an Owner or Super Admin.
