Before installing the Monotype Desktop app, ensure that your system meets the minimum system requirements defined in this compatibility matrix.

Early detection of problems (such as an incompatible operating system or inadequate user permissions) reduces the chances to encounter issues during installation and while using the application.

The Windows MSIX installer for Monotype Desktop app (v 7.x.x and above) has a dependency on Microsoft Windows App Runtime 1.2 (minimum version: 2000.707.2303.0). It gets self-installed if you have access to Microsoft Store. You may need to install that manually for the machines that do not have access to Microsoft store.
