Summary :
TeamViewer is used widely and frequently by users all over the world. It works fine usually; however, when some errors occur in TeamViewer, it will not work. When that really happens, you should start to find every possible means to fix TeamViewer not working.
You may need the MiniTool Software sometime in order to organize system & protect data.
Method 1: You may temporarily disable antivirus software (and any other security software) and firewall on the computer as a test and check if that fixes the issue. If disabling the antivirus software fixes the issue, you may have to configure the settings of the antivirus program accordingly.
- If TeamViewer can’t connect over port 5938 or 443, then it will try on TCP port 80. The connection speed over this port is slower and less reliable than ports 5938 or 443, due to the additional overhead it uses, and there is no automatic reconnection if the connection is temporarily lost. For this reason, port 80 is only used as a last resort.
- This is how I fixed my TeamViewer. I hope this helps you, so give this to a friend if they need help with it.
