Beginning with the 2023.5.0 release, Password Manager desktop apps will no longer support Windows 8.1 and older or Windows Server 2012 and older.
Users may download a 2023.4.0 desktop app https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/releases and must disable automatic updates https://bitwarden.com/help/product-faqs/#q-can-i-turn-off-automatic-updates-for-bitwarden).
We recommend upgrading to a supported operating system, as old client versions are not guaranteed to be supported by Bitwarden cloud servers long-term and may present security risks to you in the future.
