Regardless, it's highly recommended you move to appium 2.x since appium 1.x is no longer maintained.
For more details about how to migrate to 2.x, see the following link : [appium 2.x migrating](https://appium.github.io/appium/docs/en/2.0/guides/migrating-1-to-2/)
+## WinAppDriver Notice!
+
+Due to the fact that [WinAppDriver](https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver) has been abandoned by MS, running Appium dotnet-client 5.x with WAD will not work since it has not been updated to support the W3C protocol.
+In order to run appium on Windows Applications, you will need to use [appium-windows-driver](https://github.com/appium/appium-windows-driver) which will basically act as a proxy to WAD.
+Examples of running Windows Applications with dotnet-client can be found here: [windows Integration test 5.0.0](https://github.com/appium/dotnet-client/tree/release/5.0.0/test/integration/Windows)
+Regardless, feel free to open an issue on the [WAD](https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver/issues) repository that will help get MS to open-source that project.
