Important

Windows for ARM compatibility

Open-Shell is compatible with Windows for ARM since version 4.4.196.

If you install older one on a Windows for ARM installation (ex. using > Parallels Desktop on an Apple Silicon Mac), you will no longer be able to log into your account the next time you reboot. Please refrain from installing Open-Shell on Windows for ARM.

Temporary Translation/Language Solution

Download language DLL
Place it either in the Open-Shell's install folder or in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\OpenShell\Languages folder
