* fix(flutter/windows): heal the white window left by a resize around the first frame If the window is resized between the creation of the Flutter surface and the present of the first frame - which is what the PowerToys FancyZones option "Move newly created windows to their last known zone" does - the embedder's resize synchronization enters kResizeStarted and from then on only presents frames that match the new size. A frame already generated for the old size is rejected, nothing schedules a matching one, and the window stays white until a real resize re-enters OnWindowSizeChanged, which resets the resize target and resends the window metrics. Sciter is unaffected: it repaints synchronously on WM_PAINT and has no such handshake. Upstream has no fix (flutter/flutter#159630, open at P3). Recover with a timer armed at creation and re-armed on WM_SHOWWINDOW (covers windows created hidden and shown much later, e.g. the connection manager): until the first frame arrives, kick the engine - first with the cheap ForceRedraw(), which only helps when no resize is pending (it is gated on resize_status_ == kDone), then by nudging the Flutter child window by 1px and back, which re-enters OnWindowSizeChanged and heals the wedge the same way minimize/restore does. Because the first-frame callback fires on frame generation even when the present is rejected, a resize observed before the first frame forces one final child refresh - in practice nearly every window sees a pre-first-frame WM_SIZE, so this acts as a cheap unconditional guarantee. Giving up after 5s is logged. The remote session windows get the same fix in rustdesk_desktop_multi_window. https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/issues/6756 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(flutter): bump desktop_multi_window for the white-window fix Picks up rustdesk-org/rustdesk_desktop_multi_window#33 (340ca43), the session-window side of the FancyZones white-window workaround. Only the resolved-ref of this one dependency is moved; nothing else is upgraded. https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/issues/6756 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(flutter/windows): drop a dead guard and log where users can see it Two follow-ups on the force-redraw timer. The resized_before_first_frame_ guard never discriminated. CreateWindow() sends a WM_SIZE before it returns, and WM_NCCREATE has already installed the window pointer by then, so the flag was set during construction - before OnCreate() even arms the timer - and was therefore always true when the first frame arrived. Drop the flag and do the final child refresh unconditionally, which is what the code already did, and say so instead of implying there is an exceptional case. The give-up message went to std::cerr, which lands nowhere on the machines that hit this: main.cpp only attaches a console when the process is started from one or runs under a debugger. Use OutputDebugString so it is actually readable with DebugView in the field. Also note in the comment that the "callback fires on frame generation" premise is not load-bearing - if it only fired on a successful present, the timer would simply keep nudging - so the redundancy is not mistaken for duplication and removed later. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(flutter): bump desktop_multi_window to pick up the follow-ups Moves the pin from the #33 merge (340ca43) to current master (f8c4fce), which adds #34: the dead resized_before_first_frame_ guard is gone and the give-up message goes to OutputDebugString instead of a stderr nobody sees. Keeps the sub-window fix in step with the runner fix in this branch; without it the two would ship the same logic in two different states. Edited by hand, not via pub upgrade - that re-resolves unrelated packages.

Yet another remote desktop solution, written in Rust. Works out of the box with no configuration required. You have full control of your data, with no concerns about security. You can use our rendezvous/relay server, set up your own, or write your own rendezvous/relay server.
RustDesk welcomes contribution from everyone. See CONTRIBUTING.md for help getting started.
Dependencies
Desktop versions use Flutter or Sciter (deprecated) for GUI, this tutorial is for Sciter only, since it is easier and more friendly to start. Check out our CI for building Flutter version.
Please download Sciter dynamic library yourself.
Raw Steps to build
-
Prepare your Rust development env and C++ build env
-
Install vcpkg, and set
VCPKG_ROOTenv variable correctly- Windows: vcpkg install libvpx:x64-windows-static libyuv:x64-windows-static opus:x64-windows-static aom:x64-windows-static
- Linux/macOS: vcpkg install libvpx libyuv opus aom
-
run
cargo run

How to build with Docker
Begin by cloning the repository and building the Docker container:
git clone https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk
cd rustdesk
git submodule update --init --recursive
docker build -t "rustdesk-builder" .
Then, each time you need to build the application, run the following command:
docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/home/user/rustdesk -v rustdesk-git-cache:/home/user/.cargo/git -v rustdesk-registry-cache:/home/user/.cargo/registry -e PUID="$(id -u)" -e PGID="$(id -g)" rustdesk-builder
Note that the first build may take longer before dependencies are cached, subsequent builds will be faster. Additionally, if you need to specify different arguments to the build command, you may do so at the end of the command in the <OPTIONAL-ARGS> position. For instance, if you wanted to build an optimized release version, you would run the command above followed by --release. The resulting executable will be available in the target folder on your system, and can be run with:
target/debug/rustdesk
Or, if you're running a release executable:
target/release/rustdesk
Please ensure that you run these commands from the root of the RustDesk repository, or the application may not find the required resources. Also note that other cargo subcommands such as install or run are not currently supported via this method as they would install or run the program inside the container instead of the host.
