Maintaining multiple teams in the browser means keeping one tab open per team, and as we all know, tab real estate doesn't come cheap these days. It runs on Windows 7 and above (even the Windows 10 Preview!), installs simply, updates itself automatically, and remains generally courteous throughout. Slack for Windows brings all the functionality you get in your browser into a standalone version that sits, contentedly, on your desktop. How is this different from just working in the browser?
We've worked hard to make it as good as people expected. There's been a constant hum of requests in feedback tickets and tweets: the request for a Windows app to match our Mac app - and one that provides the experience users expect from a native Windows application. More than 30% of our users run Windows, and their disappointment in the lack of desktop app has been noted. In the past week alone, 365,000 people have logged in to Slack from their web browser on Windows, and (we imagine) yearned for something more. The startup is aware and actively working on a fix, which may roll out soon.Press the Start Button: Slack for Windows Has Arrived Note, some users are complaining about notifications not being clickable so they do not open Slack.

We offer up a better explanation of why the app stays in your taskbar, if you've set the window to Always flash.We've made further improvements to prevent false detection by antivirus vendors.The crude white border that would appear around the app the next time it was launched (if you had been zoomed) has been zapped.Our recollection has improved this time around. If snapped to the left or right of your screen, Slack would develop a case of acute amnesia and reset position when restarted.Downloaded files of the same name will no longer overwrite each other.
Like a low-budget horror film, a monstrous variety of crashes creeped into the 2.0 update, most of which have been sent back to the swamp.Context menus were misplaced (and by that we mean, completely absent) for a few unlucky folks.If you find yourself wedged between a rock and a hard place (or, a bug and our app) we offer you an escape hatch: Help > Reset App Data wipes the slate clean.Signed into a smorgasbord of teams? We'll pay attention to which ones you use the most, and load those first when the app is started.Here's the full breakdown of what's included in the update from Slack: What's New
