1717* **Install machine-wide.** Have your management system (for example Intune or Configuration Manager) provision the package for all users from the system account, or provision it from an elevated PowerShell session with `Add-AppxProvisionedPackage` or the equivalent DISM command. The package registers a Windows service that Cowork uses, so an install run by a standard user fails, and installing it yourself requires a local administrator. The [Windows deployment guide](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/12622703-deploy-claude-desktop-for-windows) covers downloading and distributing the package.
1818* **Allow trusted app installation.** Make sure Windows policy allows trusted app packages to install from outside the Microsoft Store. If your security baseline configures **Allow all trusted apps to install** (the `ApplicationManagement/AllowAllTrustedApps` policy), set it to enabled. Windows Developer Mode is not required.
1919* **Intune scripts.** For Intune, Anthropic publishes [install and detection scripts](https://downloads.claude.ai/releases/enterprise/intune/Claude-Intune-README.md) that deploy the `.msix` as a Win32 app, so that Intune keeps reporting the app as installed after the app updates itself.
20* **Offline installer.** For networks that cannot reach `downloads.claude.ai`, deploy the [offline installer](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/installation.md#offline-installation), which includes the components that the app otherwise downloads from that host, as listed under [Network access](https://claude.com/docs/government/deploy-desktop/configure.md#network-access). To keep those devices from updating themselves, see [Automatic updates](https://claude.com/docs/government/deploy-desktop/configure.md#automatic-updates).
20* **Offline installer.** For networks that cannot reach `downloads.claude.ai`, deploy the [offline installer](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/installation.md#offline-installation), which includes the components that the app otherwise downloads from that host, as listed under [Network access](https://claude.com/docs/government/deploy-desktop/configure.md#network-access). On a device that already has the standard package, follow [Replace the standard package with the offline package on Windows](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/installation.md#replace-the-standard-package-with-the-offline-package-on-windows). To keep devices on those networks from updating themselves, see [Automatic updates](https://claude.com/docs/government/deploy-desktop/configure.md#automatic-updates).
2121* **Nothing else to pre-install.** The `.msix` package is self-contained, with no separate runtimes or frameworks to install first.
2222* **Software intake.** The package is MSIX rather than MSI or EXE. If your software intake process names MSI or EXE packages specifically, confirm that it accepts MSIX. An MSIX package installs without prompts when your management system deploys it and takes no vendor-specific switches.
2323* **Git for Windows.** Code sessions that use a Git worktree need it, and so do [hooks written for Bash](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/extensions.md#hooks-on-windows-devices-without-git-for-windows). Claude Desktop versions earlier than 2.9939.2 need it for every Code session. On those versions, install Git on the devices whose users will work in Code, or turn **Code in Claude Desktop** off under [Product availability](https://claude.com/docs/government/config/settings.md#product-availability) so that users are not prompted to install Git.
