Prioritizing the most important WorkloadsĪrm64 development is a long-term investment, and we have started this journey by focusing on the developer workloads needed to make Arm64 developers productive on Windows 11 Arm64. While the capabilities of the 圆4 emulator have expanded, we know that the very best Arm developer experiences will be supported by tools that run natively on Arm64. Today we deliver the latest version of Visual Studio that significantly reduces the dependence on 圆4 emulation. NET, and C++ partners in building a vibrant Arm64 developer toolchain.

Bringing Visual Studio to Windows 11 on Arm64 today!ĭuring the Microsoft Build 2022 conference the Windows team announced a new Arm64 desktop device focused on developers. Our key goal with this preview is to introduce and stabilize the most popular Workloads used by developers who are building apps that run on Arm64, and to gather feedback from the community to help us prioritize additional experiences and Workloads as we work toward General Availability (GA) later this year.

We are excited to announce that the release of Visual Studio 2022 17.3 Preview 2 is now available as a native Arm64 application on Windows 11! This will be the first version of Visual Studio that will natively support building and debugging Arm64 apps on Arm-based processors.
