How to Fix AnyDesk Screen Lag: 5 Effective Solutions to Improve Performance

Are you experiencing a delay in your AnyDesk screen, where your inputs feel instantaneous but the visual display seems to lag? You’re not alone, and there are several solutions you can try to enhance your experience.

1. Connection Settings: Ensure that the “Allow direct connections” option is enabled. To do this, navigate to Settings > Connections in AnyDesk. After making this adjustment, log out and reconnect. This action allows AnyDesk to re-establish the connection using the updated settings, which could help reduce latency.

2. Optimize Resolution: If the resolution of your remote screen is set too high, consider lowering it. Adjusting the remote device to a lower resolution can improve visual responsiveness. For instance, if you are working at 1920x1080, try disabling the “Optimize for responsiveness” option and use a resolution of 1366x768, which may be more manageable.

3. Display Settings: You might also experiment with how AnyDesk displays the screen, by using options such as “Fit to window” or “Scale screen” to better adapt to your local device. This can help improve the fluidity of the display without affecting input speed.

4. Restart Devices: Sometimes, simply restarting the devices involved in the connection (both local and remote) can resolve latency issues, as this resets the network and frees up resources.

5. Check Internet Connection: Make sure that both devices are connected to stable and fast networks. An unstable connection can contribute to latency in graphics and inputs.

By following these steps, your experience with AnyDesk should improve, and latency issues should be significantly reduced. If you continue to face difficulties, we recommend reaching out to AnyDesk’s technical support for further assistance.
