# Windows

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Windows desktop builds are paused.** New Windows desktop releases are on hold while the Cake Wallet desktop app undergoes a complete overhaul and redesign. A refreshed Windows app is slated for **late 2026**.
{% endhint %}

For the best and most up-to-date Cake Wallet experience right now, we recommend using the mobile apps — [Android](https://docs.cakewallet.com/get-started/install/android) or [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cake-wallet/id1334702542).

## Older Windows releases

Previous Windows builds remain available on our [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/cake-tech/cake_wallet/releases), but **only pre-v6.x releases are available for Windows**. These predate the current app and are missing newer features and security fixes, so please use the mobile apps until the new Windows app is ready.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cakewallet.com/get-started/install/windows.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
