To begin, do a system search for Quick Assist and open the app. There are two headings—Get assistance and Give assistance.
If you want to share your screen, ask the person you want to share it with to open this tool.
They should click Assist another person and sign in to their Microsoft account. Once done, they will get a 6-digit code that will expire after 10 minutes. You should put this into the Code from the assistant text box and click Share Screen.
The other person can now choose to take full control (which allows them to control your mouse and keyboard) or View screen (which only shows them the screen, without granting control). If you agree, click Allow.
They will now see your screen. If you granted full control, your cursor will move as they move it. You are still able to control it yourself, though be careful not to do this at the same time else you might cause confusion.
They can use the toolbar at the top to bring up Task Manager or annotate notes onto the screen.
Handily, the Restart button will reboot the computer and rejoin the Quick Assist session.
Once done, click the End button to cut the connection between your computer and theirs.
