What is Microsoft Quick Assist?
Get Quick Assist is a remote assistant tool for Windows or MacOS devices. It allows you to share your computer with another person over a remote connection so they can help you with IT-related services. If you work as an IT support person, you can use the tool to connect to a user’s device and then view its display, use a mouse or keyboard, make annotations, and so on.
How to receive Remote Assistance Support from Microsoft
The first thing you need to do is talk to Microsoft over the phone or chat. After a professional conversation, you will be given a six-digit code once the support is clear that the situation may not be resolved without remote support. Make sure to note it down carefully.
- Go to Windows search, type Quick Assist, and launch it.
- Next, enter the code you received from your support person under the Security code from the assistant field and click the Submit button.
- Finally, click the Connect to Technician button to connect you to a technician who can do the job.
