Add UI Disable Feature (Only Closable via Task Manager)

[lostinwhitelight]

I’m suggesting the addition of a feature that allows the UI of the application to be completely disabled or hidden for windows devices, with the only way to be managed is it being through the Task Manager. This could be useful in scenarios like:

• Running the app silently in the background on work machines
• parental control configurations
• Accidental closure of program by employees

I reached out to support regarding this idea, and they confirmed that it’s technically feasible and encouraged me to submit it here for consideration. Ideally, this mode would only be toggleable via Advanced Settings, making it inaccessible through the UI itself once activated.

Let me know if this could be added.

Thanks!

I don’t think you should be able to disable the UI but I do agree the user should not be able to terminate RustDesk

Right now the closest you can get to hiding the ui is injecting shellcode but its not really efficient as on enterprise windows machines crowd strike does not like that at all and turning the av off would just make it unsafe. Making it unable for the user to terminate rust desk would just lead to malicious use and would be a pain to deal with, its easier to hide the ui and manage it through task manager if anything.
