Install and Uninstall Proton VPN on Windows

How install the Proton VPN Windows app

By default, Windows 10 and 11 only allow you to install apps from the Microsoft Store. To install the Proton VPN app, you’ll need to allow apps to be installed from other sources. To do this (if you haven’t done so already), open Windows Settings → Apps & features → Choose where to get apps and select Anywhere from the dropdown menu.

1. Visit our Proton VPN for Windows page and click the Download Proton VPN button (if you’re running a 32-bit version of Windows or are using an ARM device, click V and select the correct version from the dropdown menu).

2. Once you’ve downloaded the EXE file, double-click on it to open it and click Yes when asked if you want to allow the app to make changes to your device.

3. This will open the Proton VPN installation wizard. Choose the language you’d like to use from the dropdown menu and click OK.

4. Click Next to use the default Windows Start menu folder for Proton VPN. If you want to use a different folder, click Browse and locate where you’d like Proton VPN to appear in your Start menu. Click Next when you’re done.

You can automatically install other Proton apps included in your plan. Deselect any that you don’t wish to install, then click Install to continue.
