Flutter 2.10 arrives with stable support for building Windows app.

You can use flutter build windows and it will do the build for you. Make sure to install Desktop development with C++.

The build .exe file can be found on ...\projectName\build\windows\runner\Release\

You can use msix package for build. To build using msix you need to enable developer mode on Windows.

Type start ms-settings:developers and it will open the setting and enable it.

Open Command prompt (as Administrator if you needed) and navigate to your project directory and type these command

• flutter build windows
• flutter pub run msix:create

You will get an .msix app that will install the usual way windows does.

You can also configuring your installer.
