Policy Update & Our Apology

We sincerely appreciate the many comments and concerns you shared with us.
After carefully reviewing your feedback, we have decided to continue supporting Windows 10 for the time being.
We sincerely apologize for the insufficient research and consideration behind our previous announcement and for any worry or inconvenience it may have caused.

What This Means Going Forward

• We will continue testing and providing fixes/improvements for Windows 10 where feasible.

• Please note that certain new features or optimizations may be prioritized for Windows 11.

• If any critical issues or compatibility problems occur on Windows 10, we will promptly share workarounds and update plans.

• Our system requirements page will be updated to: “Recommended: Windows 11; Supported: Windows 10 (continued).”

How You Can Help

If you encounter issues on Windows 10, please report them with steps to reproduce, your environment details (OS build, GPU, etc.), and screenshots/video. Your reports directly help us improve the product.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Desktop Mate.

Thank you for your continued support of Desktop Mate.

Due to the official end of support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, we will also be ending our support for Desktop Mate on Windows 10 on the same date.

Accordingly, the system requirements will be updated as of October 14, 2025.

While you will still be able to use Desktop Mate on Windows 10 after the support ends, it will no longer be officially supported. Furthermore, while we will continue to provide support to users who are on Windows 10, we will not be able to address issues that are caused by the operating system itself.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
