Windows 10 and 11 support the ARM64 platform. Windows 11 ARM64 supports x64 emulation with a heavy performance penalty and Windows 10 ARM64 does not support x64 emulation at all (only supports 32-bit x86 emulation and native ARM64).

KDE Connect for Windows is currently only available as an x64 application. It would be very nice to have a native ARM64 build as well.

Compatibility with the platform has been added to MingW32's latest snapshot in May 2024 (aarch64-w64-mingw32 target). There's already a stable version of the clang/llvm gcc compiler and obviously MS Visual Studio.
