Frequently asked questions about DeskTime Windows app

DeskTime works on Windows 10 and 11, as well as Windows Server (2016 or newer). Keep in mind that DeskTime requires .NET Framework 4.8. You can read more about the DeskTime system requirements on this page.
Administrator permissions are required to install DeskTime. However, admins can install it for limited user accounts, and DeskTime will monitor the user's activity. This means that DeskTime can be deployed to users in accordance with your internal IT policy.
DeskTime for Windows is available in two formats - .exe and .msi. For most use cases, we recommend using the .exe installer because it supports automatic updates. However, .msi packages are also available for unattended mass deployment (intended for large enterprises). Keep in mind that the .msi installer does not support automatic client updates.
The DeskTime Windows app tracks the active processes on the machine, the URLs and webpage names accessed in web browsers, device power state (is it on and unlocked?), and idle state (no mouse or keyboard activity for 3 or more minutes). Administrators can optionally enable periodic screenshot capture and track the device's network IP address.
