## System Requirements

| Requirement      | Minimum                      |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Operating system | Windows 10 (64-bit) or later |

## Installation

### Download the Installer

Visit [qwenwork.ai](https://qwenwork.ai) and click **Windows** to download the latest `.exe` installer.

### Run the Installer

1. Double-click the downloaded `.exe` file to launch the installation wizard.
2. Follow the prompts to select an installation location. The default location is usually suitable.
3. Click **Install** and wait for the installation to finish.

If Windows Defender SmartScreen displays **“Windows protected your PC,”** click **More info → Run anyway** to continue.

### Launch the Application

After installation, search for **QwenWork** in the Start menu and open it, or double-click the desktop shortcut.

## Signing In

After a new installation, QwenWork guides you through the sign-in process. You can use an existing account or register a new one using an email address or a supported third-party account.

Returning users will not see this page. QwenWork preserves your sign-in session, restores previous tasks, and opens the main workspace directly.

The account area is always located in the lower-left corner of the window. Click your profile picture to open the account menu.

## Entering the QwenWork Workspace

QwenWork is a standalone application. There is no need to switch to a QwenWork tab inside another product. After signing in, you are taken directly to the main workspace, with the navigation sidebar on the left.

The sidebar provides access to commonly used features:

- **New Task:** Start a new task.
- **Expert Kits / Skills / Connectors:** Install additional AI capabilities.
- **Scheduled Tasks:** Run tasks on a recurring schedule.
- **IM Channels:** Collaborate through chat-based channels.
- **Tasks / Channels:** View and return to previous work.

## Updating QwenWork

QwenWork checks for new versions in the background by default. When an update is available, a notification appears in the lower-right corner or menu bar.

The update is downloaded and installed only after you confirm. QwenWork will not replace the current version without your approval.

To check immediately, select **Help → Check for Updates** from the menu bar.

## Uninstalling QwenWork

1. Open **Settings → Apps → Installed apps**.
2. Search for **QwenWork**.
3. Click the three-dot menu on the right and select **Uninstall**.
4. Follow the uninstallation wizard.

To also remove configuration data, delete the following directory:

%USERPROFILE%\.qwenwork
