Windows support

The v1.4 Windows release is undergoing native runner validation. Download Windows assets only when they appear in the tested release; see the website for published support status.

Current platform support and validation

Windows support targets native x64 VS Code and the desktop launcher. Saved accounts use %APPDATA%\multi-codex, shared by the desktop app and extension. Credentials use the Windows credential store and private account directories have protected Windows ACLs.

Windows Terminal and PowerShell are supported terminal targets. Only installed supported launch applications appear in launch choices. Paths with spaces and Unicode are handled as native arguments.

The Windows extension contains its native .exe helper and uses authenticated named pipes. Its executable wrapper avoids requiring Unix shell scripts or changes to the PowerShell execution policy.

GitHub Windows runners verify native storage and locking, backend switching, packaged VSIX behavior in real VS Code, and the app installer. Passing fixture tests does not establish real OAuth or cloud quota behavior; validation notes distinguish those checks.

Standalone desktop account isolation is available only after the exact official Windows desktop build has passed its isolation checks. Windows virtual-desktop placement and WSL/Remote SSH are outside the initial support scope.
