When will this project support WIndows 11 ARM, like the new snapdragon X elite laptop chips?

As far as I know, no BOINC project currently offers native support for Windows 11 on ARM. Building an asteroids app for it shouldn't be too difficult, since we already support ARM. I can give it a shot. However, I don’t have access to such a device, perhaps you could help with testing?

after some digging, WIndows 11 ARM already does support most existing projects via x64 emulation.

for optimal performance, we have to build a native ARM app which I did and tested in a VM. We can release it in the next version if all goes well on the server side.

note that Boinc does not officially support Windows on ARM yet, but the new installer will be released very soon.
