Win32 Error 10061 Anydesk [patched] -

Create a file anydesk_debug.txt in %ProgramFiles%\AnyDesk or the portable folder, containing:

netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset Reboot. When connecting over the internet (not LAN), some ISPs or corporate firewalls intercept and send RST packets for non‑standard remote access ports. This mimics error 10061. Workaround: Change AnyDesk’s listening port to 443 (HTTPS) or 80 (HTTP) – ports rarely blocked. On remote: Settings → Security → Port for direct connections → set to 443. Then connect using <remote_ip>:443 . AnyDesk‑Specific Logs for Error 10061 Enable debug logging on both sides: win32 error 10061 anydesk

netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off Then retry AnyDesk connection. If error 10061 disappears, the firewall is the cause. Re‑enable with: Create a file anydesk_debug

If after all these steps the error persists, consider switching to AnyDesk’s (connect via AnyDesk ID instead of direct IP) – this bypasses the direct TCP handshake and routes through AnyDesk servers, avoiding the error entirely, albeit with slightly higher latency. Workaround: Change AnyDesk’s listening port to 443 (HTTPS)
