Windows

Experimental

Windows support is feature-complete pending verification on real hardware. Real agent sessions, logon and restart, notifications, orphan shutdown and Recycle Bin restore still need that verification.

Windows 10 1809+ and Windows 11 have native snapshots, foreground collection, the read commands, the terminal UI, the web dashboard, MCP, OTLP intake and fleet. Install with Scoop.

Collector

driga service install registers a per-user Task Scheduler task, Driga collector, that runs at logon with least privilege. It needs no password, elevation or PowerShell. start, stop, restart, status, logs [-f] and uninstall work as on other platforms. Logs are at %LOCALAPPDATA%\driga\logs\collector.log, bounded to 10 MiB plus one rotated file.

The task records the home, temporary-directory and Driga path overrides at installation; reinstall after changing them. Installation refuses an existing task, so uninstall before changing the binary path.

Hooks

Hook installation previews the diff as on Unix. Claude and Copilot hooks use the executable-plus-arguments form with an absolute path, which avoids shell quoting entirely. The Codex hook uses cmd.exe /d /c call "<absolute driga.exe>" hook codex PermissionRequest, so the install path must not contain shell metacharacters such as %, !, &, parentheses, $ or backticks. Spaces, apostrophes and Unicode are fine. CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, CODEX_HOME and COPILOT_HOME are respected.

Alerts and jumps

Alerts are plain WinRT toasts without click actions; use driga inbox and driga inbox jump <item> to navigate. Focus Assist and notification policy can suppress them, and driga doctor reports availability.

Jumps open Windows Terminal (wt.exe -d <cwd>) or, failing that, a new Command Prompt in the session’s directory. Stored resume commands are shown for copying, never executed.

Orphans and cleanup

driga orphans kill uses the same candidates and confirmations as Unix. Every process start time in a tree is pinned and checked again before acting. The graceful step posts WM_CLOSE to the process’s own windows; after the grace period, --force terminates through an identity-checked handle. Headless processes may need --force.

Verified linked worktrees are moved to the Recycle Bin, then Git worktree metadata is pruned. Claude scratch cleanup is refused because its Windows layout is not yet established, and driga doctor explains this.
