The default Wine configuration prepares Wine as a Windows 7 environment, which is good for some older Windows apps, but many contemporary apps will be better matched to Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. In addition, other configuration options may be significant.

To bring up Wine's configuration panel, open a Terminal window and execute winecfg. When prompted, set your preferred version of Windows and accept all offers to install Mono and Gecko.

Depending on the version of Wine, Gecko may need to be installed twice (for 32-bit and for 64-bit) or not at all. (Wine 6.0.2 will install Gecko twice. Wine 6.17 and later will not ask to install Gecko, but a Windows app that needs Gecko will, during installation, prompt to be allowed to install it.)
```
wine winecfg
```

If you are creating custom Wine prefixes, this configuration must be repeated for each prefix.
