Can I set up multiple accounts with GoTo Resolve?
To begin with, there's a difference between a product account and a company in GoTo Resolve. If you support multiple companies or organizations, you only need a single GoTo Resolve account where you can switch between your supported companies. You can have multiple product accounts as well, but you cannot migrate data from one account to another.
You may also consider using a trial account for testing purposes and then create another paid or free account when you learn how to use GoTo Resolve. However, to avoid potential setup issues with, for example, helpdesk services, it is recommended to continue using your original account and upgrade it to a paid account as you see fit.
How do I add additional agents?
You can add agents from GoTo Admin. To do so,
- Sign in at https://admin.goto.com/.
- Go to and click Add User.

Why am I getting the "Winget not found on PATH, searching in common installation directory" error message?
- Verify your Windows 11 version: Ensure that the Windows 11 version installed on the computer supports the winget tool. It's recommended to have Windows 11 build 22000 or later for full support of the winget command-line tool.
- Install the Windows Package Manager: Confirm that the Windows Package Manager (winget) is installed on your computer. You can download and install the Windows Package Manager manually from Microsoft. Make sure to choose the appropriate installer package for your system architecture.
- Check system PATH variable: Verify that the location where the winget is installed is added to the system's PATH environment variable. By default, winget is installed in the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8.1.19411.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe folder. Ensure that this directory is included in the PATH variable.
- Restart the computer: After installing the winget and ensuring that the PATH variable is properly configured, it's recommended to restart the computer to ensure all changes take effect.
Device related issues
Why can't I connect to a device, or why can't I install an unattended device?
Do not rename the downloaded .exe or .msi installer because that prevents you from starting remote control sessions or run Remote Execution jobs on the deployed device. If you incidentally rename an installer you have to completely uninstall the associated device first. Then you have to install it again without changing the name of the installer.
Why am I seeing random devices showing up in my unverified devices list?
If you’re seeing random devices showing up in unverified devices, it could be due to Bitdefender’s Sandbox Analyzer. According to the Bitdefender website, Sandbox Analyzer is a powerful forensic tool used in conjunction with Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) to enhance an organization’s defenses against concealed sophisticated threats. It serves as a source of validation to provide enhanced visibility and focused investigation while optimizing effective threat containment.
