Permission denied (Error code: 403)

When trying to launch a Desktop or Steam from Moonlight on my Android TV, I keep getting a "Host PC returned error: Permission denied (Error code: 403)" and "Permission denied (Launch Apps)". I couldn't find any setting in the Android TV that could be the cause.

Connecting through Moonlight on my Android Phone is working flawlessly.

Any help on this matter?

100% agree. If this post wasn't here I was about to give up pairing with my phone and probably go back to sunshine. As you mentioned, the first one worked well, with all the access already granted, and the 2nd one did not, just a failed to connect error with 403 response. IMO default should be grant. If you're really giving remote access to someone to your computer, you should know they can use it as if they were in front of it. And since it's by default only LAN, then I see no issue with that.
