How to Fix AnyDesk Launching Twice on Startup: Step-by-Step Guide

If you’ve encountered the issue of AnyDesk launching twice upon starting your operating system, you’re not alone. This is a common problem reported by many users, and while it can be frustrating, there are several steps you can take to resolve it.

First, it’s essential to check that AnyDesk is not listed among your startup items. To do this, navigate to System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items and ensure that AnyDesk is not present in that list.

Another important aspect to consider is the AnyDesk configuration files. On your operating system, the files com.philandro.anydesk.Frontend.plist and com.philandro.anydesk.Hub.plist are responsible for the application’s startup settings. If you’ve checked these files and found no suspicious configurations, it may be helpful to delete one of the two files if they are duplicated, as they could be interfering with each other.

The settings in the plist file should include the key LaunchOnlyOnce set to true. This indicates that the application should open only once. If this is not the case, resetting the plist file or reinstalling AnyDesk can help resolve the problem.

If these steps do not solve the issue, consider updating AnyDesk to the latest version, as updates often include fixes for known bugs.

Remember, AnyDesk is here to assist you. Don’t hesitate to reach out to our technical support team if the problem persists, and we’ll be happy to help you find a solution.
