On my Win 10 machine, I’m getting an error message for some sites that tells me I must run ‘remoteit agent restart’.  
When I run this in a DOS window using:  
“c:\Program Files\remoteit” agent restart  
it goes through the various devices and hangs on the problematic one, so I must Ctrl C out of it and remote.it doesn’t restart after all.

1. Is there a way to run this from within remote.it?
2. How can I restart remote.it without rebooting the machine?
