WinAppDriver source and deployment note

Use the official Microsoft WinAppDriver GitHub releases as the source for Windows Application Driver installers. It is a legacy Windows UI automation component, so pin deployments to the specific release you have validated rather than assuming a current Windows SDK update will replace it.

For quiet installation, validate the downloaded MSI in your environment and deploy it with the standard Windows Installer pattern msiexec /i WindowsApplicationDriver.msi /qn. Keep test runners aware that the service must be started before sessions are created; many automation failures are service/startup issues rather than ARP detection problems.

For WinAppDriver download searches, Microsoft’s official source is the Windows Application Driver GitHub releases page. The installer asset is normally named WindowsApplicationDriver.msi; deploy only a pinned release you have tested because this is a legacy UI automation component. A quiet install follows the standard MSI pattern: msiexec /i WindowsApplicationDriver.msi /qn.
