Your system information

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

It would be very useful to have a button (perhaps in the dialog window for Settings -> "Remote Play") to force a remote host to restart its steam client, or optionally restart it only if there is a new client version available.

This will avoid the need to be at the same physical location in order to upgrade the remote steam client.

NOTE: neither VNC nor remote desktop are adequate solutions for this, because they both leave the windows console locked and requiring a password when you exit.

Steam could go even further by optionnaly letting the user streams the entire desktop
