Enabling Restart of AnyDesk in Windows

AnyDesk is a popular remote desktop application that allows users to access and control their computers remotely. In this article, we will explore how to enable the restart feature of AnyDesk on your Windows device.

To begin with, you need to download and install AnyDesk on both devices - the one you want to control remotely (client) and the one you want to use as a remote desktop (server). After installation, you can start using AnyDesk by simply opening it and entering the IP address or ID of the server device.

However, if you want to enable the restart feature of AnyDesk, you need to make some changes to the Windows startup settings. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

2. Type 'msconfig' and press Enter to open the System Configuration window.

3. In the Startup tab, scroll down and find AnyDesk in the list of applications that start automatically at boot time.

4. Right-click on AnyDesk and select Disable.

Alternatively, you can also disable AnyDesk from starting automatically by using the Command Prompt. To do this:

1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator.

2. Type the command 'anydesk' and press Enter to stop AnyDesk.

3. Type the command 'disable-anydesk' and press Enter to disable AnyDesk from starting automatically.

Once you have disabled AnyDesk from starting automatically, you can restart your Windows device whenever you want without affecting the remote desktop connection.

It's worth noting that if you are using Wake-on-LAN (WOL) feature on your Windows device, it may not work properly if you are using Fast Startup mode in Windows 8 and 10. This is because WOL relies on the system being fully powered off to function correctly.

In conclusion, enabling the restart feature of AnyDesk on your Windows device requires a few simple steps that can be completed through the System Configuration window or the Command Prompt. By following these steps, you can ensure that AnyDesk starts automatically whenever you want without affecting the remote desktop connection.
