Installation Steps

  1. Go to the download page and download the aividlab_*_x64-setup.exe installer.
  2. Double-click the .exe file to run the installer and follow the prompts.
  3. If Windows Defender SmartScreen pops up during installation:
    • Click "More info"
    • Click "Run anyway"
  4. Once installed, launch aividlab from the Start menu.
  5. Verify the installation:
    • After launching, the aividlab blue triangle icon should appear on the left side of the app's main window aividlab icon.
    • The app opens on the "Downloads" tab by default — paste a video link to test it.
    • The bottom-right corner should show free disk space and a "0 B/s" network status.

Notes

On Windows you usually don't need to run any commands. The SmartScreen warning can be dismissed with a single click on "Run anyway".

If you want to get rid of the SmartScreen warning entirely (optional), run the following in an administrator PowerShell:

Unblock-File -Path "C:\Users\<your-username>\Downloads\aividlab_*_x64-setup.exe"

This command only applies to the installer you just downloaded and is meant for local verification only — it is not the same as "code signing".

Uninstall

In "Settings → Apps → Installed apps", search for aividlab and click "Uninstall". Downloaded videos are not deleted — clean them up yourself in your downloads folder if you no longer need them.

FAQ

  • White screen or no window after launching? This is usually caused by an outdated WebView2 component on a Windows install that hasn't been updated in a while. Go to the official Microsoft page to download the latest WebView2 Runtime.

  • Chinese text shows up as boxes? Under "Settings → Appearance → Font", switch to "Microsoft YaHei UI" or "Source Han Sans".
