X (Twitter) for Windows
by X Corp.
The official X social service for Windows, used through x.com or installed as a browser-managed web app.
X, formerly Twitter, is a real-time social platform for reading and publishing posts, following accounts, exploring topics, and exchanging direct messages.
Editorial description
X on Windows is the x.com web service. It can run in a supported browser or in a separate browser-managed app window when the site is installed through Microsoft Edge. This is a web app, not a verified native Windows program, and this catalog does not offer an installer. The former first-party Microsoft Store listing could not be verified as currently available during research.
The service combines public posts, replies, reposts, media, search, trends, bookmarks, lists, notifications, and direct messages. Core access is free, while optional X Premium subscriptions add benefits that vary by tier and can change. Because timelines and recommendations are personalized, users should review privacy, content, notification, and security settings rather than assuming the default experience fits their needs.
