Having an easier Windows experience would be key to getting more developers on that platform using this. It keeps coming up in the conversations I am having - when will you have a native windows installer.

+1 to @wilikeit's comment about auto-completion not working in WSL.
I'm experiencing the exact same issue with Amazon Q in WSL2 (Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS). The inline completions simply don't appear despite:
q inline status showing that inline is enabled
q doctor reporting that everything looks good
All other Amazon Q features like q chat working perfectly
I've tried various troubleshooting steps including disabling/re-enabling inline, testing in a minimal bash environment, and restarting WSL, but the issue persists.
Despite this limitation, I've been having a wonderful experience using Amazon Q in WSL for everything else. It's been powerful enough that I've created a guide for my company to adopt it. The tool works great on native Linux installations, but there's a definitive difference in the auto-completion functionality when using it in Windows with WSL setups.
Would love to see this fixed as it would make an already excellent tool even better in the WSL environment!

Here is the workaround of using Amazon Q Developer CLI on Windows.
Step 1: Install WSL
wsl --install. After the installation is finished, you will need to restart your computer.Step 2: Install Q Developer CLI in WSL
All the following command needs to be executed in WSL.
sudo apt updatecurl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://desktop-release.q.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/latest/amazon-q.deb -o amazon-q.debsudo apt install -y ./amazon-q.debStep 3: Authentication with Q Developer CLI
q login. You will be see an URL.Step 4: Enter the agentic chat mode
q chatNow you are in the agentic chat mode. Enjoy the agent.

Think you.This is a good idea, but it seems that the auto-completion function cannot be used in WSL.
