Install
$ dsh plugin --profile desktop add dsh-computer-use-winPlugin Overview & Capabilities
AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.
Key Capabilities
- Inspect native Windows accessibility trees and query UI elements via UI Automation (UIA)
- Extract visible text using native Windows WinRT OCR with physical coordinate mapping
- Capture full screen or specific window screenshots
- Execute semantic control invocations, mouse clicks, scrolls, and text typing/pasting
- Manage desktop windows by activating, moving, and closing targets
- Display visual takeover overlays including screen border indicators and mouse halo badges
- Interrupt execution turns instantly using physical Esc or configured shortcuts
- Configurable tool presets (All, Lite, or Custom) via an integrated DSH settings panel
Useful For
- Automating form completion and multi-step UI workflows across desktop Windows software
- Operating legacy or custom Win32, WinUI, WPF, and Electron applications without native APIs
- Testing and verifying visual UI states in desktop applications during development or QA
- Performing multi-modal screen inspection combining OCR text search and coordinate-based interactions
Who It Fits
- DeepSeek Harness desktop users automating routine Windows workflows
- QA and automation engineers orchestrating end-to-end Windows desktop UI interactions
- Developers building autonomous desktop agent workflows inside DSH Desktop or Web
Documented Limitations
- Requires Windows (win32) and an interactive desktop session; non-Windows environments are not supported
- Windows privilege boundaries block interaction with elevated administrator windows and the UAC secure desktop
- Chromium, Electron, or custom-rendered canvases with sparse UIA trees may require falling back to OCR or visual coordinates
- Default WinRT OCR verification relies on Windows PowerShell 5.1
