Application

WowUp provides a number of settings to allow you to setup your addon management however you like.

Telemetry

This toggle allows you to turn on or off anonymous data collection for the app. We use this data to identify what operating systems we may or may not need to support, what locales might useful, and the popularity of app features.

Note

There is no personal information sent via telemetry. If you disable this option no information is sent to WowUp.

Minimize on Close

When closing the WowUp window, minimize to the taskbar notification area on Windows or the menu bar on Mac.

Enable System Notifications

Enable various system notification popups, such as auto updated addons.

Enable Hardware Acceleration

Disabling hardware acceleration might solve FPS issues and fix other rendering issues for some machines.

Note

Changing this setting requires a restart.

Symlink Support

This option is for advanced users, who have their addons setup specifically with symlinks. Typically this would be addon developers.

If you do not know what a symlink is you do not need this.

Launch WowUp with System

WowUp will be started automatically when you start up your system.

Launch WowUp Minimized

WowUp will start minimized and be in the taskbar notification area on Windows or the menu bar on Mac.

Enable App Badge Notification

Show a badge on the app icon with the number of addons with available updates.

Note

The number shown in the badge represents updates across all of your WoW clients. Not just the one you have selected.

Handle CurseForge Download Links

If you decide that you would like to have WowUp handle install links from the CurseForge website you can. This works by setting WowUp as the default application to handle their website's custom protocol on your system.

Note

The Overwolf CurseForge app will no longer handle the install links when you enable this if you are for some reason running both apps.
