Windows helper
Run the StoneEngine helper on Windows 11 using WSL 2.
Download Windows installer (.exe)
This first Windows build is a preview awaiting testing on a Windows PC. The installer is unsigned, so Windows may show an unknown-publisher warning.
Requirements
- Windows 11 on an Intel or AMD 64-bit PC.
- An NVIDIA GPU with Windows driver 580 or newer.
- At least 20 GB of free disk space and an internet connection for several GB of downloads.
Setup
- Run the downloaded installer normally, without choosing “Run as administrator.” It creates a separate StoneEngine WSL environment. Windows may ask for administrator permission to enable WSL and require a restart. After restarting, open StoneEngine Helper from the Start menu to continue.
- Register or sign in, then add your computer. Save the device token, which is shown only once.
- Enter the device token when setup asks. Setup finds the helper name automatically. The token stays inside the Linux environment.
- Open StoneEngine Helper from the Start menu. Its window has the usual pause and stop controls.
Setup uses your Windows NVIDIA driver; do not install a Linux NVIDIA driver inside WSL. Other WSL environments are kept separate. Uninstalling lets you keep or remove the StoneEngine Linux data.
