Install on Windows

The Windows download is a per-user installer (.exe) for 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. It installs without administrator rights and registers a clean uninstaller.

1. Download FolioOrb-Windows-x64-v5.6.0-Setup.exe from the latest release.

2. Run it. If prompted about the WebView2 runtime, let it install — it’s a small Microsoft component the app uses to render its window (already present on Windows 11).

3. Finish the wizard and launch FolioOrb from the Start menu.

First launch: the SmartScreen warning

Because early builds aren’t code-signed, Windows SmartScreen may show “Windows protected your PC.” This is expected for a new open-source app. To proceed:

1. Click More info.

2. Click Run anyway.

Why the warning?

SmartScreen flags installers it hasn’t seen build reputation for yet. It doesn’t mean the file is unsafe. You can verify your download against the published SHA256SUMS.txt. Windows code signing is on the roadmap.

Where your data lives

What	Location
Program files	%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\FolioOrb
Portfolio database	%APPDATA%\FolioOrb\database\
Config (.env)	%APPDATA%\FolioOrb\.env

Your data sits outside the program folder, so updating or reinstalling never touches it.

Uninstall

Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps, find FolioOrb, and choose Uninstall. To also remove your data, delete %APPDATA%\FolioOrb.
