How to Reset AnyDesk Session Time Limit & Remove Startup Warnings

AnyDesk is one of the most popular remote desktop tools, but the free version comes with some limitations such as:

• Session timeout after a certain duration
• Startup warnings before connecting
• Popups that interrupt your workflow

For power users, these restrictions can be frustrating. Instead of reinstalling or waiting, you can reset AnyDesk in one click with a batch (.cmd) file.

This script:

• Runs with administrator privileges automatically
• Kills AnyDesk processes before reset
• Clears all AnyDesk cache and stored restrictions
• Removes hidden files from AppData and DriverStore
• Resets AnyDesk to a fresh unrestricted state
