FAQ
Can Binance be installed on Windows 11 in S mode?
Windows 11 in S mode only allows apps to be installed from the Microsoft Store. Binance is currently not listed on the Microsoft Store, so you need to exit S mode first (Settings → System → Activation → Switch to Windows 11 Home/Pro). Exiting S mode is free and irreversible.
Does the Binance desktop client update automatically?
Yes. The Binance client has a built-in auto-update feature that prompts for an update upon launch when a new version is detected. The update process usually takes 1-3 minutes and does not affect your account settings or login status.
Can I log in to the desktop and mobile app at the same time?
Yes. Binance allows you to log in to the same account on both desktop and mobile simultaneously, with real-time data synchronization. Orders placed on your computer will immediately appear on your phone.
Will installing Binance slow down my computer?
Generally, no. The Binance client uses about 200-400MB of memory when running, which is negligible for computers with 8GB or more of RAM. You can close the client to release resources when not trading.
Can I install Binance on a company computer?
This depends on your company's IT policy. If the company computer restricts software installation permissions, you will need administrator privileges to install it. Additionally, be aware of your company's network usage policy when using Binance on their network.
