Version 5.4.0 of AnyDesk for Windows has been released. Developed by former TeamViewer employees, this program can be used to take over another computer to manage it remotely. The program is available for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, Android and iOS, although not every platform is on the same version number. It is free for home use, for commercial use it can be billed on an annual basis or immediately for a period of six years, which reduces the overall cost. It does not matter how many updates are released in the meantime. The changelog of the last few versions looks like this:

5.4.0 (Windows)

New Features

  • Implemented screen privacy feature for Windows 8 and 10.
    Enabling privacy mode during a session will disable the monitor on the remote side so the screen contents are hidden for anyone with physical access to the remote device.
    Input from the remote side will be blocked automatically during privacy mode for the default desktop.
  • The session player can now jump to a specific point in time of the session recording.

Fixed Bugs

  • Switching the desktop did not restore input block state.
  • Added dialog in case the remote side automatically denied a printer job due to permission settings.
  • Fixed automatic registration of aliases in custom namespaces in case of updating an installed custom client.
  • On trying to register an alias that was too long it was reported that registration failed because an alias has been registered already.
  • The remote state of NumLock has been altered before session start.
  • Fixed File Manager address field not handling ‘Enter’.
  • A couple of buttons in the File Manager could be resized to size zero.
  • After switching sides the File Manager did not show the remote folder contents.
  • The File Manager did not show the session close dialog in case the session was closed from the other side.

Other Changes

  • The install panel’s path edit now starts the installation on receiving ‘Enter’.
  • Address Book items now offer to create a TCP tunnel.
  • The hotkey for entering fullscreen mode now also allows to leave fullscreen mode.
  • Changed the default value to enable the alternative set of permissions for Unattended Access to ‘true’.
    By doing so the alternative set will be used directly after setting up a password for Unattended Access and using it to connect, effectively granting all permissions to the user connecting.
