On Windows computers, you will need to follow the Windows operating system instructions to turn on FIPS encryption mode in your network settings. See this Support article for additional FIPS information

Enable/Disable Direct Connection Option for Streamer

A new option has been added when creating a custom Streamer with your Splashtop account. In it’s best to leave this option checked so the Streamer can support both internet and local access to deliver the fastest performance. You may want to uncheck this box when creating streamers in situations where PCI compliance is required.

Now you can schedule Windows updates (in addition to the previously available option to schedule reboots). Access the feature under Management | Scheduled Actions.

  • Select Monthly, Daily/Weekly, or One-Time frequency and set details

  • Set restart options

  • Apply the update rules to groups of computers or specific computers

Now you can deploy and manage Bitdefender on Windows Server 2019, 2012, 2008, 2003, Windows XP and Windows Vista machines. This is in addition to the previous support for Windows 7 through Windows 10. If the computer is running Windows XP, Vista, Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008, it must be current with the latest Windows Service Pack for that version of Windows.
