Actually blocking screen captures probably requires hooking into the video drivers to detect if anything else hooks into the video drivers.

Oh I see ! But how will you re-enable it after ? If you want to enable it from the physical pc ? A keybind ?

Hmmm it seems that I don't have this option available (tested with 2 nighly version of rustdesk in 2 computers, a dell with windows 10 and an asus with windows 11).

I suppose the problem might come from the difference windows 10 / 11 ?

What version do you use ? Did you installed some drivers on your computer ?

Edit : a recent test I did with the firewall deactivated for both computers :

Rustdesk Windows 11 --> Rustdesk Windows 10 (privacy mode possible and working)
Rustdesk W10 --> Rustdesk W11 (privacy mode not available/working, the W11 is not activated for the moment)

Do you have any ideas about this ?

@Tchiimy I've tested Win11, the provacy mode is supported.

Privacy mode need Magnification support. Maybe you have multiple screens. Or Magnification is not supported on you system (x86?). BTW, Magnification's api may be removed in the future. We'll consider another privacy mode implemetation.

Some point about this for android (borrowed from srccpy, not sure if depends on adb) #3815

It's not depending on adb, it's java code from API setDisplayPowerMode():

import android.os.Build;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
public class DisplayToggle {

    private static final Class<?> CLASS;
	static {
        	try {
            		CLASS = Class.forName("android.view.SurfaceControl");
		} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        	throw new AssertionError(e);
     	 }
    }

    public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {
	System.out.print("Display mode: "+args[0]);
	Method method = CLASS.getMethod("setDisplayPowerMode", IBinder.class, int.class);
	try {
            method.invoke(null, getBuiltInDisplay(),Integer.parseInt(args[0]));
        } catch (InvocationTargetException | IllegalAccessException e) {
	    e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    private static Method getGetBuiltInDisplayMethod() throws NoSuchMethodException {
       Method getBuiltInDisplayMethod;
            // the method signature has changed in Android Q
            // <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/586>
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
                getBuiltInDisplayMethod = CLASS.getMethod("getBuiltInDisplay", int.class);
            } else {
                getBuiltInDisplayMethod = CLASS.getMethod("getInternalDisplayToken");
            }
        return getBuiltInDisplayMethod;
    }

    public static IBinder getBuiltInDisplay() {
        try {
            Method method = getGetBuiltInDisplayMethod();
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
                // call getBuiltInDisplay(0)
                return (IBinder) method.invoke(null, 0);
            }
            // call getInternalDisplayToken()
            return (IBinder) method.invoke(null);
           } catch (InvocationTargetException | IllegalAccessException | NoSuchMethodException e) {

Privacy Mode is not working when connecting from Windows 11 to Windows 10 when using the portable executable.

I haven't tested with the full installation as I don't have admin permissions.

Do I need to make any changes on the remote computer (Windows 10)?

I also tried enabling "RDP Session Sharing", also didn't work.

From iPhone (iOS 16.5) to Windows 10 it works.

After trying the Nightly version, the option shows up, so I guess it wasn't needed any changes.

I'm assuming it works, I haven't tried being next to the computer... (from iPhone it works, that I already tried)

On both the host and the client I'm running the nightly version: rustdesk-1.2.0-x86_64.exe
https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/releases/tag/nightly

The iPhone worked without any issues on the desktop running the nightly version.

Running the same version on the host and client computers, the client is running in Portable, the host is installed.
