How to disable AnyDesk autostart in Ubuntu?

Question

AnyDesk runs in Ubuntu startup and I couldn't find any setting in order to disable it in its settings. How can I disable AnyDesk autostart?

Actually this issue still happens in all Ubuntu versions 22 and 23 (tested in 23.04) — Etore Marcari Jr., Aug 25 '23 at 13:14

I've found the following approach to disable the AnyDesk service. In this way, you can run it manually.

systemctl disable anydesk.service

You can also check its service status:

systemctl status anydesk

nb: you might want to stop it first (or after) if it is running:

service anydesk stop

This also used to work in Fedora 36, but in 37 it doesn't anymore. The service can be disabled, and stays disabled, but the system tray icon keeps appearing. – Jerther Mar 03 '23 at 13:15

go to the .anydesk/ path(for example: mine is /home/pyruz/.anydesk), find autostart.conf and delete it. just this.

anydesk version: 6.1.1 , ubuntu version: 22.04 LTS
