# Windows (Beta)

> Install the Enconvo Beta on Windows, sign in, keep it up to date, and see which features work there.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Enconvo for Windows is in beta and ships on the **Beta** update channel. It is built for everyday use, but things can still change between builds. If something breaks, tell us on the [feedback site](https://feedback.enconvo.com).

**Current Beta: 2.5.13 Beta 3** (`2.5.13-beta-3`). To see which version you have, open **Settings → General → Updates**.

## Requirements

* **Windows 10 version 2004 (build 19041) or later, or Windows 11.**
* **64-bit Intel/AMD (x64).** There is no build for Windows on Arm yet.
* **Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime.** Enconvo's windows run on it. Windows 11 has it built in. On Windows 10, see [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) if the windows stay blank.

## Download the Beta

The Beta comes as an installer, `Enconvo-<version>-win32-x64-setup.exe`. The file name carries the Beta's version number.

For the current Beta, 2.5.13 Beta 3, download [Enconvo-2.5.13-beta-3-win32-x64-setup.exe](https://file.enconvo.com/win32-x64/beta/Enconvo-2.5.13-beta-3-win32-x64-setup.exe).

To always get the newest Beta, run this in PowerShell. It reads the Beta feed, downloads the installer to your Downloads folder, and checks that the file arrived intact.

```powershell theme={null}
$feed = "https://file.enconvo.com/win32-x64/beta"
$latest = Invoke-RestMethod "$feed/latest.json"
$file = $latest.files.exe.url
$out = "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\$file"
$ProgressPreference = "SilentlyContinue"   # downloads much faster in Windows PowerShell
Invoke-WebRequest "$feed/$file" -OutFile $out
if ((Get-FileHash $out -Algorithm SHA256).Hash -eq $latest.files.exe.sha256) {
  "Downloaded Enconvo $($latest.version) to $out"
} else {
  "The download is damaged. Delete it and run this again."
}
```

## Install

**1. Run the installer**

Open the `.exe` you downloaded. If Windows shows **Windows protected your PC**, click **More info**, then **Run anyway**. SmartScreen shows this for apps it doesn't know yet.

**2. Choose a folder**

Enconvo installs for your account only and doesn't need administrator rights. The default folder is `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Enconvo`. If you pick another one, it must be empty or already hold Enconvo.

**3. Open Enconvo**

Leave **Open Enconvo** checked on the last page, or open **Enconvo** from the Start menu later. Its icon appears in the taskbar's notification area.

**4. Sign in**

Sign in with your Enconvo account, then continue with the [Quick Start](https://docs.enconvo.ai/quickstart.md).

If Enconvo is running when you install, the installer asks to close it first.

## Update

A Beta build stays on the Beta channel. To change it, open **Settings → General** and set **Update Channel**. See [Updates](https://docs.enconvo.ai/configuration/updates.md).

Enconvo checks for a new version on its own. When one is ready, click **Update** in the Chat Window. You can also check now in **Settings → General → Updates**.

The update installs in place: Enconvo closes, shows the installer's progress, and opens again on the new version.

## Troubleshooting

| What you see | What to do |
| - | - |
| **Windows protected your PC** when you open the installer | Click **More info**, then **Run anyway** |
| **Enconvo needs 64-bit Windows** | Enconvo doesn't run on 32-bit Windows |
| The installer won't use the folder you picked | Pick an empty folder, or the folder Enconvo is already in |
| Enconvo's windows stay blank or don't open | Install the [Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime](https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/webview2/), then open Enconvo again |
| Clicking an Enconvo notification does nothing | Open Enconvo normally, not with **Run as administrator** |

## Remove Enconvo

Open **Settings → Apps → Installed apps** (on Windows 10, **Settings → Apps → Apps & features**), find **Enconvo**, and choose **Uninstall**.

Your settings and chats stay in the `.config\enconvo` folder in your user folder (`%USERPROFILE%\.config\enconvo`). Delete that folder to remove them too.
