> ## Agent Instructions
> MSPilot enrolls technician Windows machines and Apple Silicon Macs so Claude Desktop and ChatGPT run through one governed gateway. Seat words are standard seat and power seat. ConnectWise PSA import is not available. HIPAA is not a self-serve switch. Mode Switcher is mspilot-mode.exe for the MSP's own Windows machines.

# Mode Switcher

> On your own Windows machine, use Claude Desktop and ChatGPT with your accounts or with MSPilot.

Mode Switcher is for Windows machines you use yourself. It switches **Claude Desktop** and **ChatGPT** between **MSPilot** and **Your own accounts**.

You have to be signed in. The program runs as you. It does not ask for administrator permission.

## Download

Download `mspilot-mode.exe` from `https://downloads.mspilot.io/agent/latest/mspilot-mode.exe`. That channel's `SHA256SUMS` lists the file at `https://downloads.mspilot.io/agent/latest/SHA256SUMS`. Another channel uses the same file name under `https://downloads.mspilot.io/agent/<channel>/`.

Double-click `mspilot-mode.exe`.

## In the window

The title bar is **MSPilot**. The heading is **Mode Switcher**. The line under it is **Use ChatGPT and Claude with your own accounts, or with MSPilot.**

**Apps** shows **Claude Desktop** and **ChatGPT** as **Installed** or **Not installed**.

**Current** is **MSPilot** or **Your own accounts**.

| Current | Button | What the switch does |
| - | - | - |
| **MSPilot** | **Switch to your own accounts** | Pauses interception for ChatGPT and Claude, removes the MSPilot banner and gateway settings, then closes ChatGPT and Claude and opens them again. |
| **Your own accounts** | **Switch to MSPilot** | Resumes interception for ChatGPT and Claude, restores the MSPilot banner and gateway settings, then closes ChatGPT and Claude and opens them again. |

Leave the window open until the button leaves **Switching...**. Sign in inside each app if it asks. The window does not ask for a password.

The choice stays for this Windows user. Later config pulls leave Claude Desktop and ChatGPT on the accounts you picked. Choose **Switch to MSPilot** to put them back on the gateway. The certificate and the machine proxy stay in place either way.

If you chose **Switch to your own accounts** in this window and then open **MSPilot Import** to import your conversations, Claude Desktop and ChatGPT switch back to gateway mode when the import finishes, and **Current** changes to **MSPilot** even though you did not choose **Switch to MSPilot**.

If the switch back fails, the window says **MSPilot could not turn gateway mode back on. Claude and ChatGPT are still on your own accounts.** Choose **Switch to MSPilot** again.

If the window cannot open, install the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime and run it again. The log is `%LOCALAPPDATA%\MSPilot Mode\mode.log`.
