Install Achieve on Windows

A guide to the download, Windows security prompts, and your first sign-in.

Windows beta · Latest version · Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit · No administrator rights needed

Download for Windows ↓

1. Download the official installer

Use the download button on this page or the Achieve landing page. Save the file to your Downloads folder. The button always gives you the newest version.

GoldenLabs.AchievePublic-public-Setup.exe

Your browser may warn that the file is uncommon. Check the source and filename before deciding to keep it. If it reports malware or your organization blocks the download, stop and contact support or your administrator.

2. Open the installer and identify the prompt

Double-click the installer in Downloads. Windows may show “Windows protected your PC” because the installer is not yet code-signed. Click “More info”, then “Run anyway”, as illustrated below. Button labels and appearance may vary with your Windows language and version.

SmartScreen, first screen: choose More info.
SmartScreen, expanded screen: choose Run anyway if it is available.

Illustrated examples, not screenshots captured from this installer. The highlighted areas show which controls to look for.

If Run anyway is missing, your device policy may prevent it. On a work or school PC, ask your administrator. Do not treat a malware detection as an ordinary reputation warning.

3. Let it install

There is no setup wizard and no administrator prompt. Achieve installs for your Windows account in a few seconds and opens on its own. After that, Achieve keeps itself up to date automatically.

Upgrading from an older version

Install this version, then remove the old “Achieve!” from Windows Settings > Apps. Your settings and sign-in are kept.

4. Sign in to Achieve

Use the same Achieve account you use on your other devices. You can sign in with email/password, Google, or Apple. Google and Apple sign-in open your browser; complete the flow and return to Achieve. Browser sign-in requests expire after five minutes. If one expires, start again.

If a different sign-in method already owns your account, use that method. To add another provider, link it from your existing Achieve Android, iOS, or Mac app. An Apple private-relay email does not automatically merge accounts.

What to expect in this Windows release

The public edition keeps game history on this PC. Windows browser tracking is not implemented, even though website rules can be saved. “Save and quit” is a countdown, not automatic save detection. Uninstalling keeps local settings and history.
