Starting with version 3.2.4.0, you can connect in with SOS and start a reboot and get reconnected after the computer starts back up.

      5. Once the computer is back up, you are reconnected.

      ⚠️ In case of needing to reboot the computer several times during the session, in step 3, please tick "Save Windows credentials for next time login" for Splashtop to memorize the Admin credentials.

      If you select the method "Enter credentials by remote user", a pop-up will appear on both technician and user's end.

      After the first successful rebooting with credentials saved, the next reboot can be done without inputting the credentials again.
