Microsoft Quick Assist is very helpful and often forgotten remote support tool built right into Windows 10. Quick Assist lets you set up a secure and temporary screen share and remote control session from one computer to another.
Ever get a call from your Grandma at 7 AM on a weekend because she is having problems printing a coupon from her email for a local grocery store and she needs to print it out "ASAP" but she can't find the email on her computer and you can't talk her through searching for "Mariano's Sale" because she can't find "The Google" ? Quick Assist to the rescue!
It can also be used by IT professionals as a way to provide remote support when a more robust tool is not available. Very useful if you find yourself in a pickle!
