Hi, I'm trying to test Prefect Orion on Windows 10 but seems not working because orion.db is not created in .prefect folder. I heard that for now Orion is not foreseen in windows platform !!!! My question is anyone has a workable workaround to get this orion.db database ? That's annoying that prefect guys have excluded windows platform from their orion agenda.

Did you try running it on WSL? But you’re correct that we are not Windows compatible yet: https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/CL09KU1K7/p1639671462192100?thread_ts=1634808847.033200&cid=CL09KU1K7

Thanks for your feedback. I'll try for the time being WSL.

For those of you working with Windows 10 or 11, WSL is perfectly working. If you are using Visual studio code, just use remote explorer with WSL as target. this will open a new VS code windows pointing to you WSL ubuntu and from there you work as if it is windows based project.
