Zed for Windows

It's here—fast, native, and ready for your team.

Native

Built from scratch

So over-engineered, Zed on Windows is more native than Microsoft's own editor.

WSL & Remoting is Built-in

Zed now speaks WSL. You can open a Linux distro as a first-class “remote” target, edit projects that live inside it.

Full Extension Parity

All Zed extensions now work seamlessly on Windows; no special steps, no caveats.

Agentic Coding on Windows

All of Zed’s AI features, including edit predictions and ACP-powered agents, are fully supported on Windows.

A Refreshed Rendering Backend

To run on almost all Windows versions, including VMs, we created a new rendering backend based on DirectX 11.

Built in the open

Learn about how it came together

Tune in as Max Brunsfeld, Richard Feldman, and team dive deep into what's involved when porting a high-performance code editor to a new platform.

Windows is here because of you

We appreciate all the Zed community who has asked, waited, and helped test our beta releases.
