What are the Update Channels?
HELP

New Windscribe desktop application versions are released in stages in order to maintain quality control and catch any issues before a new version goes out to all users. 

The desktop applications have 3 Update Channels.

  • Guinea Pig - Sneak preview of new features and bug fixes. Tested internally by our team but can be unstable. 
  • Beta - Pre-release builds of new versions of Windscribe. Released more often after a Guinea Pig build has been field-tested by a small portion of users for some time and we've had a chance to fix any issues that were found.
  • Release - This is the latest stable version of Windscribe. Released least often and goes out to everyone when all testing and bug fixes for that version have been completed.

If you want to switch to a different update channel for the desktop app, you can do so by going to Preferences > General and at the bottom selecting the update channel you want from the dropdown:
