After Windows 11 23h2 and 24h2 TightVNC cannot remote into PC's

After Windows 11 23h2 and 24h2 TightVNC cannot remote into PC's I use TightVNC in my home network to connect remotely between Win10 and Win11 computers. When I uninstall these updates I can use TightVNC, but they automatically just get reinstalled. How do I correct this so I can use TightVNC?

Hello, having same issue, we can connect by IP but when I try to connect by Hostname its unable to connect. We tried removing workstation from domain and reinstalling tightVNC and was able to connect, after some few days I lost the connection again and now I'm unable to connect by Hostname. We use Citrix and I need to have the connection available by hostname.

Hello,

Firewall Settings: Ensure that TightVNC is allowed through the firewall. Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Defender Firewall > Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall. Make sure TightVNC is checked for both private and public networks.

Update TightVNC: Check if there are any updates available for TightVNC that might address compatibility issues with the latest Windows updates.

Have a nice day.

Best Regards,
