# Workspot Windows Client 6.0.0

## Highlights

- Feature Release.
- Support for [Global Applications](/v1/docs/global-application-pools). These are available for a limited selection of Private Clouds. See [Workspot Compatibility Matrices](/v1/docs/workspot-compatibility-matrices).
- Windows Server support. Users of Windows Server 2022 can install and use the Client to reach their Workspot resources.
- Limited initial support for virtual smartcards for Workspot desktop/app sign-in. Full support is scheduled for Windows Client 6.1.0.
- [Support for the Webex App VDI Plugin](/v1/docs/workspot-webex-acceleration), which optimizes Webex meetings on Workspot desktops by offloading most of the work onto the Client device. This is enabled/disabled in Security Policies and Protocol Policies. The Workspot Client can either use an existing Plugin or manage its installation and updates, controlled by the “Install Webex Client Plug-in” option on the “Add/Edit Group” page.
- When using three or more monitors, you can now select which monitor to reserve for local use instead of having it chosen for you. See [Multiple Monitors for Mac and Windows Clients](/v1/docs/multiple-monitors-for-mac-and-windows-clients).
- The Client now reports the apparent geographic location of the Client (based on external IP address) as part of each Customer Survey sent to [Workspot Trends](/v1/docs/using-workspot-trends).
- The Client now reports the effective Security Policy, Time Limits Policy, Protocol Policy, Gateway Policy, enabled Plugins, and Posture Check details to [Workspot Watch](/v1/docs/using-workspot-watch) for each desktop/app session.
- Posture checking for OS security updates now occurs in the background when possible, minimizing user-perceived delays.

## Supported Platforms

Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2022.

## Installation

**Installing the Release Manually**

The Client will be available for manual installation from Workspot's download site ([https://download.workspot.com](https://download.workspot.com/)) using the link below:

- Production Windows Client: [WorkspotClientSetup64(6.0.0.5421).msi](https://download.workspot.com/WorkspotClientSetup64(6.0.0.5421).msi).

**Installing the Release Automatically**

Workspot’s (highly recommended) automatic updates via [Deployment Rings](/v1/docs/workspot-windows-client-automatic-updates-via-deployment-rings) will start after the release as follows:

- *The Stable Ring* (recommended for most users) is always set to the most recent production release.
- *The Preview Ring* (recommended for beta testers and early adopters) is always set to the most recent beta release *or* production release, whichever is newer.

## Known Issues

- Posture Checking is not supported for the Windows *Server* version number but the Client attempts to enforce it anyway. Disable posture checking on Security Policies that apply to Windows Server Client users.
- Posture check results are not cached in Kiosk Mode. In particular, this makes the test for Windows Update security patches slow. If updates to your Kiosk-Mode devices are managed routinely by your IT and not end-users, consider disabling this test.
- When running on a VMware Windows 2000 server, the Client will sometimes fail to close the remote desktop/app window and will leave a black window or screen on the Client device instead. This can be closed through the “X” icon.
