Follow these instructions to set up your development environment so you can start creating apps for Windows 11 and Windows 10.

System requirements

To develop Windows apps, you'll need to install and set up Visual Studio, the Windows 10 SDK, and the Windows App SDK on a development computer. These tools have the following system requirements. How to install happy wheels full version free.

Visual Studio is a comprehensive integrated development environment (IDE) that you can use to edit, debug, and build code, and then publish your app.

See this page for Visual Studio system requirements.

The Windows SDK provides access to all the APIs and development features exposed by the Windows OS. The Windows SDK is required for building Windows apps as well as other types of components such as services and drivers. The latest Windows SDK is installed with Visual Studio 2019 by default.

See this page for Windows SDK system requirements.

The Windows App SDK is a set of developer tools that represent the next evolution in the Windows app development platform. The Windows App SDK provides a unified set of APIs and tools that can be used in a consistent way by any desktop app on Windows 11 and downlevel to Windows 10, version 1809.

Note

The Windows App SDK was previously known by the code name Project Reunion. Some SDK assets such as the VSIX extension and NuGet packages still use the code name, but these assets will be renamed in a future release. Some areas of the documentation still use Project Reunion when referring to an existing asset or a specified earlier release.

The Windows App SDK has these system requirements:

Windows 10, version 1809 (build 17763) or later.
Visual Studio 2019 version 16.9 or later with the following workloads and components:
- Universal Windows Platform development
- .NET Desktop Development (needed even if you're only building C++ Win32 apps)
- Desktop development with C++ (needed even if you're only building .NET apps)
Windows SDK version 2004 (build 19041) or later. This is installed with Visual Studio 2019 by default.
Building .NET apps also requires:
- .NET 5 SDK version 5.0.300 or later if you're using Visual Studio 2019 version 16.10
- .NET 5 SDK version 5.0.204 if you're using Visual Studio 2019 version 16.9

Visual Studio support for WinUI 3 tools

You can build, run, and deploy apps built with stable versions of the Windows App SDK on Visual Studio 2019 versions 16.9, 16.10, and 16.11 Preview. However, in order to take advantage of the latest WinUI 3 tooling features such as Hot Reload, Live Visual Tree, and Live Property Explorer, you need the versions of Visual Studio 2019 with the stable versions of the Windows App SDK as listed in the following table.

Visual Studio 2019 16.9	Visual Studio 2019 16.10	Visual Studio 2019 16.11 Previews
