Users Request More Stable Windows Desktop Client Release Channel

A German non-profit is seeking a more stable release channel for the Nextcloud Windows desktop client due to recurring update issues.

A small non-profit association in Germany is experiencing problems with the Nextcloud Windows desktop client, specifically related to updates and synchronization errors. The team, comprised of 17 volunteers, previously migrated from Dropbox to a managed Nextcloud instance and relies on the desktop client for file synchronization.

The user inquired about the availability of a more conservative release channel, similar to the Enterprise channel described in documentation, which offers more thoroughly tested releases. Currently, Windows clients only offer Daily, Beta, and Stable channels, with the team already utilizing the Stable option.

The user suggests either introducing a more conservative release channel or making the existing Stable channel more conservative, and questions why the Enterprise channel isn’t available to all users.
