The Microsoft Store is the recommended place to install Okular, the version there has been tested by our developers and the Microsoft Store  :bullshit: provides seamless updates when new versions are released. If for some strange reason you can't use the Microsoft Store you can try the stable version from release nightly build.  :-+ There are also experimental nightly builds, for which testing and bug reports would be welcome.

Windows 10 LTSC Enterprise 2019 does not have an appstore and I have no intentions of ever installing that rubbish.

Works plenty fine on Windows.

Windows 7 still works fine. aren't that many programs that don't support it, the only ones that don't have a specific check so that they dont install on windows 7. And you can just get older version for them that support it. just a very few selection of programs tho.

I'm still using PSP7.04; I don't know any other program able to open a 40MB TIFF for edit under 1s...

PlainName:
I am sure this is a coincidence...

I downloaded Okular and ran the standalone under Sandboxie (which is what I normally do to avoid polluting my PC with stuff I may not like, but allowing it to work in a real environment). Seemed OK but Okular didn't seem to bring anything to my party, so removed it. However, via a circuitous route, I found out it could display markdown properly - most other markdown-aware things display it as raw weird stuff with the proper display as a separate 'preview', so this was attractive. Accordingly I then ran the installer version of Okular.

Didn't seem to work right and complained that it couldn't write to some file because of permissions, and then Bitdefender popped up and killed it. WTF! Long story short, my TheJournal executable was banished from my PC, Miranda and Waterfox lost their profiles and other bad things happened.

Seemed to be a registry delete-fest too. Fortunately, blasting back my C drive en bloc from an image sorted it all out, and again running the standalone Okular in a sandbox was fine. As was running the installer version in a VM.

Highly unlikely Okular downloaded from KDE is malware (which was the Bitdefender report), but in several years that's the first time Bitdefender has twisted its knickers so messily. I am putting it down to coincidence but thought it worth mentioning if it encourages people to ensure they have regular backups.

Anti-malware creates more problems than it resolves.
They are not effective, very unreliable, consume resources, slowdown your pc and can mess things up.
The biggest virus is the person in front of the pc...
