Operating system
Windows 10 version 1809 (OS build 17763) or later, including Windows 11.
MICROSOFT STORE / MSIX
A supervised Harness, packaged for Windows.
DSH Desktop brings the official DeepSeek Harness web UI to Windows in a native Tauri shell, with a bundled Node.js runtime and a Rust supervisor. The Microsoft Store package is built for x64 and arm64 and does not require a system Node.js installation.
Submission package prepared The Store package has completed the repository's static MSIX checks. Public availability begins only after Microsoft certification and publication.
01 / COMPATIBILITY
System requirements
The package targets the Windows.Desktop device family and supports both current PC architectures.
Architecture
Native x64 and arm64 MSIX packages. Partner Center selects the matching package for the device.
Network
Internet access is needed for your configured model provider, Cordis marketplace metadata and approved plugin downloads. The Harness UI itself is served only on a random 127.0.0.1 port.
Runtime
Node.js and the pinned Harness runtime are included. No separate Node.js, terminal setup, Windows driver or NT service is installed.
02 / STORE BUILD
What changes in the Store build
The Store build uses the same supervised desktop architecture with distribution-specific safety gates.
UPDATES
Microsoft Store owns updates
The in-app updater is disabled in the Store build. Once published, installation and updates are delivered by Microsoft Store.
PLUGINS
Reviewed packages only
Plugin installs are restricted to the repository's cordis.run reviewed allowlist. Local plugin sideloading is rejected in the Store build.
ACTIVATION
Install is not activate
A marketplace package is integrity-checked, installed with build scripts disabled, verified and left pending. It runs only after explicit user activation.
FULL TRUST
Transparent desktop capability
The MSIX declares runFullTrust so the bundled Node.js process and Rust supervisor can run. It installs no driver or Windows service.
03 / DATA FLOW
Network and privacy boundary
Prompts, files and tool output go directly to the model endpoint you configure in Harness. Marketplace requests go to cordis.run, and approved packages are downloaded from registry.npmjs.org. The community desktop layer does not proxy that traffic and does not add analytics. Review the privacy policy before installation.
04 / AVAILABILITY
Choose the Windows distribution
The Microsoft Store edition is awaiting publication. Until its listing is live, the public Windows download remains the checksum-verified x64 installer from GitHub Releases.
