Hello everyone,
I am currently setting up moonlight game streaming from my Windows 11 PC over GeForce Experience to my retroid Pocket 3+ (Android).
Does someone here know if it is possible to deactivate the PIN when connecting from client to host? (Using it only in my own network, not over internet).
Thanks in advance for your help!
Oh, just leave your PC on overnight then. It’s a security thing to have to input the Pin. Also, just remote desktop into your PC, and enter the Pin that way if you absolutely want to turn your PC off overnight.
If it’s a power draw concern, it probably uses less than 40w of power at idle.
Especially if you were to use sleep mode on the PC - then depending on your setup you can combine that with Wake-on-LAN and then just use another app on your phone/streaming device to send the “magic packet” to initialize a wake up.
I’m not familiar with Moonlight, but I’d imagine that would prevent it from asking for a pin again as well.
No power drain concern, just don’t like it to let electronic devices running when not needed. Already thought about RDP, maybe that’s going to be my option
Power Cycling your PC will end up causing more harm than good because your putting extra stress for every startup.
I am father. The times I start my PC up in one year can be counted on two hands. I think I’m good :D But thanks for your warning, might be helpful for other people considering my solution ;)
