# Windows

> [!CAUTION]
> **WARNING**
> 
> This section contains advanced information for power users. Changing these settings incorrectly may break client functionality.

Confirm you are using [a supported version of Windows](/v1/docs/the-v6-7-sdp-client-is-unable-to-run-device-claim-scripts#for-windows).

## CLI Options for Client Installer

For information on using command line driven silent installation, refer to the [Windows client](/v1/docs/windows-clients-v6-7) documentation.

## Client Logs

| Log type | Location | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Regular client logs | `%APPDATA%\Appgate\Logs` | `C:\users\myname\AppData\Roaming\Appgate\Logs` |
| Headless client logs | `%ProgramData%\Appgate\service.log` |  |
| Windows SSO logs | `%ProgramData%\Appgate\plap.log` |  |

## Driver Logs

Driver logs are in `%ProgramData%\Appgate\driver.log`

## Client Settings

The config file for the client is found in `%appdata%\Appgate\Appgate_SDP_Service_Url_<some_random_text>\<version>\user.config`.

For example: `C:\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\Appgate\Appgate_SDP_Service_Url_<some_random_text>\5.2.0.22596\user.config`

## Cleaning Client settings

To clean client settings, delete the folder `%appdata%\Appgate\`

## Removing stored passwords and certificates

Passwords are stored in the **Credential Manager**. Open Credential Manager as the correct user, find entries that start with "Appgate," expand them, and select **Remove from vault**.

Certificates are stored in **Certificate Manager**. Run `certmgr.msc`, find “Appgate” in the left pane, expand it, and click **Certificates**. Delete the relevant certificate entries in the right pane.

## Proxy Auto Config (PAC)

If “Proxy Auto Config (PAC)” is enabled in a policy, AppGate overrides the Windows settings as long as the client is running. Windows settings are restored upon quitting the client (this may take several minutes).
