How to install arc browser on windows 10

As this is not an official way of installing Arc Browser because Arc browser for Windows 11 by default

This guide is a bit more manual

• Download the Arc appinstaller and open it in notepad/some other text editor

• open the Arc.appinstaller in a text editor look for the link that ends with ".msix" then open download that

• extract the .msix file into a folder somewhere (this is where your arc installation will be located at)

• remove these 4 files [Content_Types].xml AppxBlockMap.xml AppxSignature.p7x AppxMetadata

• open AppxManifest.xml in a text editor and look for TargetDeviceFamily change the MinVersion= to whatever your windows version is (look that up with winver)

• EX: Open the Find and Replace menu (Ctrl + H or Edit->Replace for notepad), for Find what: put 10.0.22000.0, and for Replace with: put 10.0.10000.1000, then press Replace and save the file.

• then go to settings -> search for developer settings turn on install apps from any course, including loose files (do at your own risk)

• after that open a PowerShell inside your arc installation folder and run Add-appxpackage -Register {path} replace the {path} with the appxmanifest.xml path

cd "[PATH TO YOUR ARC FILES HERE]"
Add-AppxPackage -Register ".\AppxManifest.xml"

• then afterwards u can just open up arc from start menu you can disable the developer settings again RECOMMENDED
