One question: where can find the latest version of the offline installer on Files website?

See the download section and can't find a current link and additionally this page is not well optimized for mobile view in portrait mode and landscape mode.

https://files.community/download

I use Microsoft Edge 135 on Android devices. Here are some screenshots.

Offline download links aren't on the site I have linked the latest stable version below. As for it looking broken Files isn't for mobile and it doesn't make sense to spend time optimizing the site layout for it.

Thanks.

According to the check, only this layout under this URL https://files.community/download is affected. Everything is fine in other places. Can you fix it?

I have just tested it and it does not work. The first file could be installed. During the installation of the second file:

This app package is not supported for installation by App Installer because it uses certain
restricted capabilities.

Use Windows 11 24H2 in a virtual machine and on a real computer.

You can try

1. Opening PowerShell as administrator
2. Enter Add-AppxPackage -AppInstallerFile "<Path to file>"
3. Wait until the blue bar at the top doesn't show
4. See if Files is in the start menu all apps section

Again Files is for PC only so there isn't a reason to spend time fixing it

You can try

1. Opening PowerShell as administrator

2. Enter `Add-AppxPackage -AppInstallerFile "<Path to file>"`

3. Wait until the blue bar at the top doesn't show

Not working.

[Josh65-2201]

Can you show the full PowerShell window

[mkeseattle]

Can you show the full PowerShell window

Sure.

[Josh65-2201]

Sorry it's Add-AppxPackage "<Path to file>"

[mkeseattle]

Sorry it's Add-AppxPackage "<Path to file>"

Same issue.

[Josh65-2201]

Install https://cdn.files.community/files/stable/Files.Package_3.9.1.0_Test/Dependencies/x64/Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx and try again

Install https://cdn.files.community/files/stable/Files.Package_3.9.1.0_Test/Dependencies/x64/Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx and try again

Same error message with these 3 commands in PowerShell.

The problem also exists with Desktop browsers for PC only. Make the browser window smaller and then there are similar layout problems only with this URL.

[Josh65-2201]

This one should work if it doesn't please send the PowerShell window screenshot

You can make a new issue about this but since it only happens if the window is very small it probably won't be fixed.

Only use Windows 11 Snap feature. See picture with desktop browser.

It worked wonderfully.
