+[[https://token2shell.com/x410/|x410]] is a **low cost** commercial //X server// that can be directly installed from the [[https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NLP712ZMN9Q|Microsoft store]].
+This is an //X server//, and you will get the same functionalities as what is already provided for free by [[other:x_conf#installing_vcxsrv|VcXsrv]], **but**:
+  * Once installed, ''x410'' will be automatically updated by the Microsoft Store application
+  * If you move to another computer, you can install ''x410'' again by just [[other:win10config#connecting_to_the_microsoft_store|Connecting the MS Store to your account]] on the new computer. No need to buy it again
+  * There seem to be more (useful) updates than for ''VcXsrv''
+  * The interface is more modern, with more options, and there is a lot of useful information on the web site
+  * The ''x410'' name is easier to remember! :-D

+  * Start ''x410'': ''Start'' => ''X410''
+    * It will seem that nothing happens, but an ''X'' icon will appear in the right side of the taskbar (you may have to look for it in the //Display hidden icons// pull-up menu). Your computer is now __almost__ ready to display remote graphics!\\ {{ :other:x410_x.png?direct |}}
+  * Right-click on the ''X'' icon to open the **X410 settings**
+    * Select ''Auto copy to Windows after selection''\\ {{ :other:x410_settings.png?direct |}}
+  * It's possible to **automatically start ''x410''**! Otherwise, it will stop when you close your Windows session or restart the computer, and you will have to restart it by hand (''Start'' => ''X410'') if you know that you will need an X server later
+    * Open the **Windows Task Manager** (Right-click on ''Start'' and select ''Task Manager'')
+    * Go to the ''Startup'' panel (if there are no panels, select ''More details'')
+    * Right-click on ''X140'' and select ''Enabled''
+  * Note: if you need to quit the //X server//, you can right-click on the ''X'' icon, and then click on the //Display// number at the lower left (usually ''0'') and select ''Shut down''
 **Starting, configuring and exiting X410**: you can start X410 by clicking on it in the Windows Start Menu, or choose to [[https://token2shell.com/howto/x410/automatically-start-x410-on-login/|Automatically Start X410 on Login]]

-Available at [[https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/|MobaXterm]], not tested. This seems to be more than just an X server, and may be an overkill if you just need an X server
