If you have bought a new laptop or a PC with Windows 11 preinstalled, the developer mode in Windows 11 is disabled by default. However, if you wish to use this feature, we will show you several different ways to enable it.

What is Developer Mode in Windows 11?

Developer Mode is a feature that lets developers sideload, install, and test third-party apps on Windows 11. Only developers and testers should use this feature since it enables them to create and test programs outside the Microsoft Store.

As per Microsoft, “If you’re using your computer for ordinary day-to-day activities (such as gaming, web browsing, email, or Office apps), you don’t need to activate Developer Mode, and in fact, you shouldn’t activate it.”

When do you enable your device for development?

So, when should you enable developer mode on your Windows 11 device?

1. If you’re writing software with Visual Studio on a computer for the first time, you will need to enable Developer Mode on both the development PC and on any devices you’ll use to test your code.
2. If you are a developer looking to sideload, install, and test third-party apps on a Windows 11 PC, this feature is useful for you.

Is developer mode safe on Windows 11?

Can enabling Developer Mode pose security risks? Yes, your PC can be at risk if you enable it for development. The option to enable developer mode is provided for development purposes but also serves as a fundamental security measure to restrict exposure to harmful programs.

If you are going to enable your device for development, the best practice is to move all your personal data to a different PC and use the PC solely for developing apps.

You must exercise caution when you enable your device for development. If you have enabled it for testing, we recommend that you avoid downloading third-party apps from untrustworthy sources.
