If you downloaded app favorites like Todoist for Windows from the Microsoft Store before October 1, 2025, you may see a banner to install the new and improved Todoist desktop app. Built as a MSIX app, it offers a smoother and easier experience, while allowing us to securely release and support new Windows features.
About the MSIX format
MSIX is a sandboxed format, which virtualizes filesystem and registry access, so that you can run Todoist in a more secure environment.
MSIX apps offer clean installs and uninstalls, and will have proper entries (for example: “Startup applications”) in your computer’s settings. This ensures a more streamlined setup and easier app management in Windows.
Use Todoist as an MSIX app
Note
If you need to continue using Todoist as a Win32 application, you can install this version from the Downloads page.
To use the MSIX version of Todoist for Windows, check if your computer runs on Windows 11. Uninstall the current Todoist app from your Windows computer, then download and install the MSIX version from the Microsoft Store.
The MSIX version removes all Todoist installation files automatically from your computer, so there’s nothing to clean up after. When newer versions of Todoist become available, the app will automatically update through the Microsoft Store.
That’s it! You can continue using the Todoist you use and love. 🫶
