Before, it re-registered this computer only after the server rejected a connection, and stopped after a fixed number of tries. Now:\n\n- It renews the computer's credential shortly before it expires, showing a message that it is doing so, and retries with randomized waits if renewal fails.\n\n- Re-registering after a rejected connection is capped per hour and can report itself as paused.\n\n- A new error message covers the server rejecting registration.\n\n- When Remote Control gives up, the computer's registration can be kept on shutdown.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis affects how long a computer stays connected through Remote Control without you having to sign in again.\n\n- Area: Remote Control\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
