To upgrade the Faddom server on Windows, download the Faddom Server-<version>-Setup.exe file from the downloads portal, copy it to the server, and run it.

If you have a proxy server, it will upgrade itself automatically unless it is running version 2022.3 or below. In that case, you will need to manually update it using the instructions below: Upgrading Faddom Proxy Manually.
