You can run a debug version by running “ElectronClient/run.sh”. With this, you won’t need to rebuild the complete app every time.

Not sure what you mean by that. The "Bash window" cannot close, or maybe you double-clicked on run.sh. Instead you need to open "Bash for Windows", navigate to the Joplin directory and run `./ElectronClient/run.sh`. If there's an error, please post here.

This is the result of my execution.  
What’s the problem?  
All documents for the window have already been run.

You can’t really run it from a DOS prompt. First you need to install the Ubuntu app: [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/ubuntu/9nblggh4msv6](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/ubuntu/9nblggh4msv6)

Then open the Ubuntu App and go to the folder where the Joplin source code is, and try from there to run `./ElectronClient/run.sh`

By the way, there’s detailed information on how to work with the app in Windows: [https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/master/readme/building\_win32\_tips.md](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/master/readme/building_win32_tips.md)

Please describe what you mean by “development environment”. Perhaps provide a screenshot of what you have in mind.

in my opinion it means for example if i change the code (ex insert icon next to tags) then a screen that shows it by applying it.
