# Update on Windows

> How to update BrowserOS on Windows

**1. Check for updates**

Click the **BrowserOS Feedback** extension (bug icon) in the toolbar, then click **Check for Updates**.

**2. Download the latest version**

Download the Windows installer from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/browseros-ai/BrowserOS/releases).

**3. Run the installer**

Double-click the downloaded installer to start the update. You'll see a temporary folder appear — this is normal and expected on Windows.

Wait about 30–40 seconds. The temporary folder will disappear on its own, and the updated **BrowserOS** app will automatically appear on your desktop.

> [!NOTE]
>
> If BrowserOS was already running, close it completely and reopen it for the update to take effect.

**4. Allow the BrowserOS Agent**

When BrowserOS opens, you may see a popup asking to allow **BrowserOS Agent** to access the network. Click **Allow** — the agent runs as a separate process alongside the browser and needs this permission to work.

> [!WARNING]
>
> If you click Cancel, the agent won't be able to connect and you'll see a "Failed to Fetch" error. If this happens, go to **Windows Security → Allow an app through your network settings** and enable **BrowserOS Agent**.

Your settings and data will be preserved after the update.
