v6.0 [Jun 10, 2020]
- Two-Factor Authentication: With Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), you’ll add another layer of security. Now you can also create a time-based one-time password on remote devices, providing additional security for unattended access. You’ll receive this via QR-code, and be able to scan this with your smartphone. You can only use your device if the QR-code was scanned before.
- Wake-on-LAN: Thanks to Wake-On-LAN, devices can now be turned on from sleep mode, allowing them to then be connected to remotely. The device is 'woken up' by any other device, a guard, who is in the same network and not in sleep mode. To accomplish this, a “Magic Packet” is sent to the remote device, giving it the impulse to end sleep mode.
- Group Policies: Managing different user groups is now even easier. The settings for all AnyDesk clients within a domain can be set up and adjusted for Windows from one central location.
- Multiple Passwords for Unattended Access: Together with the Windows Group Policies, it is now possible to assign different passwords for Unattended Access. Certain user settings can be linked to a respective password. Individual authorization profiles are created, which can then be adjusted at any time or limited in time.
- Flexible Session Recording: Our Session Recording has been upgraded. Start and stop recordings at any time with just one click and record only the really important parts of a session. This is particularly useful when you want to reuse a recorded session later for training purposes. It is also now possible to fast forward and rewind the recorded sessions.
- Address Book for Android: With AnyDesk Version 6, the address book is also available on your Android device. Synchronize your contacts and use them on the go from anywhere.

Restrictions based solely on the numerical id are also supported. You can find the feature in the Security Panel of the AnyDesk settings.
Fixed a bug where the file transfer and probably the text clipboard did not work on Windows 7 when UAC was disabled and AnyDesk was not installed.
Fixed a regression which could lead to being unable to control the remote machine after activating a privileged window in the task bar when AnyDesk was not installed.
Fixed a bug which could cause severe image lag after using the "switch sides" or "request elevation" features or doing a fast user switch of a remote controlled Windows session.
v2.3 [Apr 30, 2016]
- Mouse jitter could cause AnyDesk to falsely display the user pointer and disallow
remote mouse input for some time. Small local mouse moves are now ignored.

- Fixed a crash which occured when the monitor was switched several times in Win 8/10.
- Fixed a bug which could cause AnyDesk to transmit inefficiently (low fps) when the
remote machine was running Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. This also could lead to
a slowdown of the target machine.
- The remote cursor was not rendered correctly when the Direct Draw render mode was
selected. The Direct Draw renderer now draws the remote cursor as intended.
- A black image was shown instead of the remote screen in certain cases when "Use fast
render method" was selected in the view options. The image is rendered normally now
if this mode is selected.
- If a 16 bpp mode is selected, the Direct Draw renderer now tests if a 32 bpp mode is
supported before falling back to the gdi renderer when the lower mode is not supported
by the hardware. The d3d renderer now supports 16 bpp colour depth as well and uses
the same fallback mechanism.
- In some cases, AnyDesk did not transmit any image (black image) when the screen was
rotated in Windows 7 with Aero enabled.
- The base64 password feature for anydesk: links did not work with all configurations.
Fixed.
- The forbidden cursor is displayed correctly again.
- The grey tray icon indicating that the AnyDesk service is not running is displayed
correctly again.
- Under certain conditions, connections to a machine failed with "desk_rt_ipc_error".
This occured when AnyDesk was not installed. Added a workaround for these machines.

going to fullscreen mode.
- AnyDesk is now scaled correctly with high dpi settings.
- AnyDesk now correctly terminates the session when it is stopped during fullscreen mode.
- AnyDesk now supports keyboard translation. If your keyboard layout is different from
the keyboard layout of the remote user, AnyDesk can translate the keys. This enables
you to type special characters on your keyboard regardless if the remote keyboard
supports them. You can disable this feature in the main menu in case you want raw key
to be transmitted. This is useful for example for playing games which depend on the
hardware key code.
- Select "Auto-Adjust resolution" from the main menu during a session in order to change
the remote screen resolution to fit the dimensions of your local AnyDesk window. You
can use this feature as often as needed, for example after you maximized the AnyDesk
window. After the session ends, the remote resolution is restored to the original mode.
- Added privacy tab to user settings. You can now decide what to broadcast, your windows
user name or a custom one, your windows account image, a custom one or none.
