host pc greyed out on chrome remote desktop

Reported by okp...@gmail.com, Jan 21 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36

Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. install chrome remote desktop and enable remote connections on windows 7 pc
2. install chrome remote desktop on chromebook
3. chrome remote desktop shows windows 7 pc greyed out

What is the expected behavior?
chrome remote desktop shows windows 7 pc not greyed out so can connect to it

What went wrong?
it was working when i first tried it for 2 weeks but without sound.  i went into host pc and tried to check allow remote services to see if could get sound to work but then i got the greyed out issue.

removing the check that i had added to revert back to original state didn't help

gone through several iterations of uninstalling/installing and disabling/enabling

Did this work before? Yes same

Chrome version: 55.0.2883.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

there's an old issue that was closed (460525) that appears to have similar problems -- it was closed but not resolved.

want to report that it's still a problem for me

teamviewer works on same chromebook accessing remote Windows pc
only difference is teamviewer vs chrome remote desktop so i think that points to the chrome remote desktop having an issue
Can you send us the host logs? To do this:

* Run cmd.exe elevated on your Windows 7 machine: right-click on cmd.exe shortcut and choose "Run as administrator".

* Start the trace:

content_copylogman create trace -ets "chromoting" -p {2db51ca1-4fd8-4b88-b5a2-fb8606b66b02} 0xffffffff 5 -o %TEMP%\chromoting.etl

* Use the Chrome app to disable and then re-enable the host.

* Stop the trace:

content_copylogman stop -ets "chromoting"

* Attach %TEMP%\chromoting.etl to this bug.
