After downloading, right-click on the AnyDesk executable file and select ‘Run as Administrator’. This will open a window that looks like the image below:

An important point is that when you install AnyDesk, an identification number is given to your computer. This number acts like an IP address, allowing others to connect to your system. If you don’t uninstall the software, this number remains constant.

Now, click the ‘install AnyDesk’ option to start the installation.

Usually, there is no need to change the default settings unless you want to change the installation location or you don’t want the software to update. Finally, by clicking on ‘Accept & Install’, the installation of AnyDesk is completed, and on the last page, you will see your 9-digit identification number.

Installing AnyDesk on Ubuntu, Debian, or Linux Mint

How to Use AnyDesk on Windows

Once you’ve installed the AnyDesk software, a shortcut or icon will appear on your desktop. By double-clicking on it, you can run the software. After launching the software, you’ll see a number at the top of the screen; this number is your unique code within the AnyDesk system. Share this code to connect with SPY24’s laptop, your phone, or other individuals.

To start a session in AnyDesk, open it. Each system has a unique personal ID.

This ID will be a 9-digit number. To connect a system, we need to enter the user’s ID in the Remote Desk section in AnyDesk.

We can also set an alias for connecting a specific device. Now, we can request to join another system.

Step 1: Open AnyDesk.

To connect two devices remotely, open AnyDesk on both devices.

Step 2: Enter the ID or identifier and request a connection

Enter the ID or identifier of the remote system in the Remote Desk section and click on the Connect button.

Step 3: Accept the connection request.

To allow other users to access your system, click on the Accept option. By doing this, you are permitting other users to access your system. We can reject this request by clicking on the Dismiss option.

After accepting the connection request, the other system will be connected to your PC.

Automatic connection to AnyDesk

Of course, many users use the AnyDesk software to connect to their other computers. For example, you are at home and want to connect to your laptop at the company. When you enter the code of the opposite computer in the AnyDesk software on your laptop, the person opposite must confirm. But outside of office hours, you will need someone in the company to do that for you!

For this reason, you can define a robust password from the AnyDesk settings section so that the connection is made remotely when you cannot access the computer. Specifying a password in the AnyDesk software helps you to access more easily.

7- This way, you will see that when someone intends to connect to your system through the AnyDesk program via their mobile phone or another computer, they will face the Authorization message, like the picture below. Only if the person enters the password set by you will they find the possibility of remote access to your system.
