How to Use AnyDesk for PC on Windows 10

Before we dive into how to use AnyDesk for PC on Windows 10, it's essential to ensure that your operating system settings are properly configured and Wake-on-LAN is enabled in both the motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings and the remote AnyDesk client's settings. Additionally, you should also check if your device supports Wake-on-LAN by contacting your hardware manufacturer.

For Windows 8, 8.1, and 10, hybrid shutdown is the default mode, while for Windows 7, it is the S5 Power State. You can refer to 'How to set up Wake-on-LAN' for a detailed description of the available settings.

AnyDesk has the capability to wake devices that are in certain modes, including Standby and Hibernate. Once a device is woken up, AnyDesk will automatically connect to it. If you send a 'Power on' request from L to R, our AnyDesk servers will look for online clients in network B and request that they send a wake-up packet from the device hosting W to the device hosting R.

To use Wake-on-LAN with AnyDesk, you need to ensure that your device is set up accordingly. For example, when connecting to an offline client, AnyDesk will show a prompt to 'Power on' the sleeping device. Simply follow the prompts and instructions provided by the program.

It's also essential to note that AnyDesk requires administrator privileges and elevation (UAC) to function properly. Additionally, only grant access to your computer to people you know and trust, as AnyDesk may request access to your computer during the setup process.

To start using AnyDesk on your Windows 10 PC, follow these steps:

1. Open a web browser and navigate to the AnyDesk website.

2. Click the 'Download' button to download the installer file.

3. When prompted, save the file to your desired location (such as the 'Downloads' folder).

4. Once the file is downloaded, run the installer by clicking on it.

5. Follow the prompts provided by the installer to install AnyDesk.

6. After installation, open AnyDesk and supply the address displayed on the left-hand side of the screen.

AnyDesk can run without being installed, but it's recommended that you install it for easy access in your start menu. Once installed, you can double-click on the 'AnyDesk.exe' file to run the program automatically.

With these steps, you should now be able to use AnyDesk for PC on your Windows 10 device.
