Install TestOwl on Windows

Windows system requirements

• Windows 10 (64-bit) or later.
• An x64 or ARM64 processor. Pick the matching build above; most Windows PCs are x64, while Surface Pro X and Snapdragon laptops are ARM64.
• An internet connection, both to sign in and for the one-time download of browser and video components the first time you record or run a test locally.
• Enough free memory for the browsers you run at once. Each environment in a local run opens its own browser.

SmartScreen and antivirus notes

The installer and the app are digitally signed by KRS Solutions LLP. SmartScreen judges new files by how often they have been downloaded, so a fresh release can still show the blue warning even though it is signed. Antivirus tools may scan the installer before it runs, which can add a few seconds. If your antivirus quarantines TestOwl, restore it and check the file's digital signature in Properties → Digital Signatures; it should list KRS Solutions LLP.

Installing for a team

The installer is a standard Windows setup program, so IT teams can run it silently from a command prompt with the /S switch, for example testowl-windows-x64.exe /S. Each person then signs in with their own TestOwl account.

After you install

Sign in with the same account you use at app.testowl.ai: email and password with a one-time code, or Google, GitHub or Microsoft sign-in, which opens in your browser and returns you to the app. Your projects and plan are the same as on the web. The app checks for updates in the background; when one is ready, click Restart & Install in the top bar.

How to uninstall TestOwl

1. Close the TestOwl app.
2. Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps (or Control Panel → Programs and Features).
3. Find Testowl, choose Uninstall, and follow the prompts.

Your tests, results and reports live in your TestOwl account, not on your computer, so uninstalling the app does not delete them.
