Development Applications Supported on Windows on Arm
3/6/2026
Application Support List
The following list summarizes the support status of commonly used development applications on Windows on Arm platforms. Application support status is categorized as Native or Emulated.
- Native
Indicates that the application provides a native ARM64 (or ARM64EC) build and runs directly on Windows on Arm, offering optimal performance and full compatibility without emulation. - Emulated
Indicates that the application runs on Windows on Arm through x64/x86 emulation without a native ARM64 build. Emulated applications may have performance or compatibility limitations compared to native applications.
Disclaimer
Application support status is based on the information available at the time of documentation. Please refer to the official vendor documentation for the most up-to-date compatibility information.
Actual behavior, performance, and compatibility may vary depending on the specific application version, configuration, and Windows on Arm platform implementation. Customers are advised to validate critical applications in their target environment prior to deployment.
