## Supported Applications
**WinApps supports <u>*ALL*</u> Windows applications.**
**WinApps supports <u>*ALL*</u> Windows applications.** Support does not, however, extend to kernel-level anti-cheat systems (e.g. Riot Vanguard).
Universal application support is achieved by:
1. Scanning Windows for any officially supported applications (list below).
1. Scanning Windows for any community tested applications (list below).
2. Scanning Windows for any other `.exe` files listed within the Windows Registry.
Officially supported applications benefit from high-resolution icons and pre-populated MIME types. This enables file managers to determine which Windows applications should open files based on file extensions. Icons for other detected applications are pulled from `.exe` files.
Community tested applications benefit from high-resolution icons and pre-populated MIME types. This enables file managers to determine which Windows applications should open files based on file extensions. Icons for other detected applications are pulled from `.exe` files.
Contributing to the list of supported applications is encouraged through submission of pull requests! Please help us grow the WinApps community.
