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!

    too bad… It’s asking me everytime after booting up. So I have to interact with my PC everytime. Without it I could just simply power on AC (using a smart plug) and auto log in to windows and then connect moonlight.

      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.

          My Mainboard can do WOL, but I have no Ethernet cable connected (simply not possible, because router is too far away). WLAN Card doesn’t support it. Also not going to let it in sleep mode. Configured turn on AC on my Mainboard, so PC turns on when Smart Plug is activated. Maybe will go with RDP if there is no other option. But will have to try if PIN gets still asked. Someone said it should only ask one time, maybe I did something wrong.
