The popular free tool AnyDesk receives a major update. Users do not need remote access to their own PC or the systems of parents and friends every day. But when it is necessary, AnyDesk is a good choice. The update to version 9 is now available.

If you want to help other people remotely with their PC problems or quickly access a file on your home computer, it is practical to be able to establish a remote connection.

This is where the remote desktop tool AnyDesk steps in. The software is free for private us and is easy to set up, allows you to surf through the directory structure of connected computers and can also be easily used by less experienced users.

With version 9.0.0, the developers want to bring technology aspects back to the forefront after hacker attacks damaged the software's reputation in recent months. In addition to bug fixes, there is the new AnyDesk Assist function and a faster support option without entering an ID. You can find more details below:
