Download AnyDesk 6.0.5

Version 6.0.5 of AnyDesk for Windows has been released. With this program, which is being developed by former TeamViewer employees, another computer can be taken over to manage it remotely. The program is available for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, Android and iOS, although not every platform has the same version number. It’s free for home use; for commercial use, payment can be made on an annual basis, or immediately for a period of six years, which reduces the total cost. It does not matter how many updates are released in the meantime. The changelog of the last few versions looks like this:

Changes in version 6.0.0 (Windows)

New Features

• Updated the user interface.
• AnyDesk now supports Perfect Forward Secrecy.
• Added Two Factor Authentication. When enabled, an additional dialog will be shown after authentication by password or token, asking for a time-based one-time password provided by a third device. This requires that device to run an app supporting TOTP.
• Added Wake On LAN. When enabled, devices running AnyDesk that are currently in sleep mode can be woken up by other AnyDesk devices in the same local network.
• Added support for Windows Group Policies. AnyDesk now checks the Windows Registry for settings provided via Group Policies. This can only be disabled in Custom Clients.
• Unattended Access now allows the setup of multiple secondary passwords. Each of the passwords can be bound to different permissions. This feature requires the use of Windows Group Policies.
• Session Recordings can now be started and stopped at any time.
• The Printer now also supports printing local files on the remote side.

• The search now also takes Address Books into account.
• The session monitor tabs now show where the keyboard focus is.
• Allowed to drop address item selection by pressing ‘Esc’.
• Added a second default setting for Interactive Access. Immediately installing AnyDesk now allows to connect to that Desk directly from the beginning. It is no longer required to open a window or to explicitly change the corresponding setting.
• Turned the link to set up a password into a tile to improve its visibility.
• Added a tile allowing to go back to the Welcome Page.
• Allowed to hide the sidebar on the left.
