Which Windows Versions Does ModernFlyouts Support?

Updated

ModernFlyouts is presented as a replacement for the old Metro-themed flyouts in Windows 10, so Windows 10 is the version the project explicitly targets. The site's own description does not state Windows 11 support, and it does not list separate prerequisites or a version compatibility table. If you are on Windows 11, treat compatibility as unconfirmed and verify it on the project's GitHub before installing.

What the project actually says

The ModernFlyouts site describes the app as "an open source, modern, and Fluent Design-based replacement for the old Metro-themed flyouts present in Windows 10." That sentence is the only version statement in the available page content. It tells you:

  • Windows 10 is the stated target. The flyouts being replaced are the Windows 10 Metro-style ones.
  • Windows 11 is not mentioned. No claim of support or non-support appears in the excerpt.
  • No prerequisites are listed. There is no stated requirement for a specific Windows 10 build, .NET runtime, or other dependency in the page evidence.

Because the description is written around Windows 10, the safe reading is that Windows 10 is the supported environment. Anything beyond that is an assumption.

How to check compatibility before installing

The site points to two distribution routes: the Microsoft Store ("Get it from Microsoft") and GitHub Releases. Use them to confirm fit for your machine:

  1. Open the GitHub Releases page linked from the site and read the release notes for the current version. Look for any stated minimum Windows build or known issues on newer Windows versions.
  2. Check the Microsoft Store listing for the app's system requirements section, which typically names the supported Windows version and build.
  3. Match against your own build. On Windows 10 or 11, run winver to see your version and build number, then compare it with what the listing states.
  4. Expect the result to be a yes/no on Windows 10. If you are on Windows 11 and neither the Store listing nor the release notes mention it, do not assume it works — test on a non-critical machine first or ask in the project's GitHub issues.

Practical guidance by situation

Your situation Reasonable action
Windows 10, want to replace Metro flyouts The stated use case; install from the Microsoft Store or GitHub Releases
Windows 10, unsure of build Check the Store listing's system requirements against winver output
Windows 11 Compatibility is not stated; verify on GitHub before relying on it
Need a guaranteed-supported setup Windows 10 is the only version the project describes as its target

What is not answered here

The available page content does not specify a minimum Windows 10 build, does not confirm or deny Windows 11 operation, and does not list runtime prerequisites. Those details, if they exist, live in the GitHub repository's release notes and issue tracker rather than the landing page — check there before you install on a machine you depend on.
