  • 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.

  • - Under certain conditions, the clipboard synchronization stayed engaged if it was disabled
  • in the settings tab or the accept window.
  • - Fixed the remote mouse cursor position in original view mode.
  • New Features
  • - New performance option for rendering ("Use fast render method"). Set the checkbox as follows:
  • Checked: Always uses 16 bits per pixel for uploading (decreases required memory bandwidth).
  • Use this setting to speed up rendering on slow machines.
  • Indeterminate (default behaviour): Use the 16 bit render mode on single processor systems.
  • Unchecked: Never use 16 bits per pixel mode. Uncheck if you have a single processor machine
  • but the image quality is too low.
  • - Added translation to Korean.
  • - Added "Waiting for first frame" dialog which is displayed as soon as the network connection
  • is established.
  • - Added a new command line option --get-status to get the connection status and improved the
  • behaviour on errors of the command line interface.

Changes for v1.4.1 beta - v2.0

  • New Features
  • - Windows 10 compatibility
  • Fixed Bugs
  • - Fixed a crash at session start if the clipboard permissions were changed before session start.
  • - Fixed a crash at session start which could occur with some unicode user names when mouse input
  • was forbidden.
  • - The clipboard did not work when connecting to the Logon screen and logging in a new user.
  • - Sometimes the forbidden cursor was displayed during the whole session when connecting into
  • a Windows session which was created via RDP. This should not happen any more.

  • from the security tab are now applied for sessions.
  • - If the alias is too long for display, a smaller font is used.
  • - Fixed a rare crash when the mouse cursor had an invalid pixel format.
  • - The "Show remote cursor" feature displayed the mouse cursor in an incorrect position for all

Changes for v1.4.0 beta - v1.4.1 beta

  • Fixed Bugs
  • - Fixed a bug which lead to "Connection established" being displayed forever and no image being shown
  • when connecting to Windows 7 machines. This bug only occured when the pc was not restarted for
  • at least 24 days.
  • - Fixed a bug which could lead to a second zone security warning when AnyDesk was started as admin.
  • AnyDesk did not work in this case until the second zone dialog was accepted.
  • - When starting the portable version as admin and pressing "+", a cycle could be created which
  • lead to a crash.


Changes for v1.3.2 beta - v1.4.0 beta

  • - When the remote session changes (for example with fast user switching), AnyDesk
  • automatically
  • restores the connection.
  • - When connecting using the command line, you can specify a password now using the stdin pipe.
  • Fixed Bugs

  • during remote support or presentations.


Changes for v1.2.3 Beta - v1.3.0 beta

  • Fixed Bugs
  • - Improved the network code. This adds to the overall performance and fixes some random connection
  • freezes which occured in rare cases.
  • - Windows 8: When no mouse was attached to the machine being controlled, the mouse cursor was
  • missing. Provided a workaround which enables the mouse cursor during the AnyDesk session.
  • - Fixed a bug in the d3d renderer on multi monitor systems which caused the display to turn grey
  • when the AnyDesk window reached a certain size.
  • - If the user changed the permissions (e.g. audio allowed) before the session started, the
  • state was invalid which caused all permissions to be in the state disallowed.
  • Permissions can be changed before the session starts now.

  • settings.
  • - Ongoing file transfers are canceled now when the session is terminated.

  • - AnyDesk now sets its exit code. This is useful for diagnosing errors in scripts.
  • Fixed Bugs
  • - The installation and the update process should be more reliable now. In some cases, AnyDesk

  • would lead to not being able to connect to the machine any more after attempting to update.
