Keyboard doesn't work in a remote session (macOS → Windows)
If the mouse works but the keyboard is unresponsive when controlling a Windows PC from macOS, work through these steps.
1. Grant macOS accessibility permissions to Tenvo
macOS requires explicit permission before any app can inject keyboard input.
- Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility.
- Make sure Tenvo is listed and its toggle is on.
- If Tenvo is missing, click +, navigate to
/Applications/Tenvo.app, and add it. - Restart Tenvo on the macOS device and reconnect.
2. Check keyboard permission on the Windows host
On the Windows machine being controlled, open Tenvo → Settings → Security and confirm Allow keyboard control is on. If a specific app that runs as administrator ignores keystrokes, it is blocking input from standard processes — check it by signing in to the remote machine locally.
3. Update Tenvo
If the issue persists, install the latest release from tenvoai.com and retry.
