How To Block Anydesk In Windows 10

If you’re concerned that your users will fall for a scam that gives someone else control of their keyboard and mouse, one way to mitigate that risk is to block those remote assistance applications from running. Windows calls this functionality Application Control and provides two ways to implement it: AppLocker and Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC). There is an article outlining the differences, but the short summary is that WDAC was designed as a security feature and provides additional functionality. So in this case we will use WDAC!

A word of warning: WDAC provides a great deal of control and security over your Windows devices. To be successful with WDAC, read the official design guide and don’t implement widely without significant testing.

Misconfigured firewall

1. Status: win32_10060
2. Status: win32_11001
3. Status: win32_10054

Windows generates these error messages. They are usually caused by a misconfigured firewall. The firewall on both the local and remote sides should not interfere with the AnyDesk connection.
