Arm Windows 11 apps growing

Microsoft’s Prism emulator is getting smarter. With Windows 11 25H2 Insider Preview Build 26220.7051 (KB5067115), Windows 11 on Arm devices now supports more 64-bit x86 CPU features under emulation.

As the company notes, this will significantly improve app compatibility and performance. This upgrade means many desktop apps that previously struggled on Arm-based PCs.

Developers can also toggle emulation behavior for 32-bit apps via the new Emulation Settings in Properties. As with every new feature, Microsoft encourages Insiders to report performance issues or compatibility bugs through Feedback Hub > Apps > [Specific App Name].

Besides this change, the latest Insider build has also introduced Ask Copilot in the taskbar and Full Screen Experience for more handhelds, other than ROG Xbox Ally series.
