Windows 10 ARM support?

Does Fences run (or do you have any plans to make it run) on Windows 10 ARM?

I'm running Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview Version 2004 under Parallels 16 on a MacBook Pro M1 (ARMv8 64-bit). The current version of Fences 3.0.9.11 installs without any errors but doesn't seem to start properly on boot-up. Clicking the "Customize Fences" icon on the desktop gives: "Fences does not appear to be loaded. You may need to reinstall Fences." ...after which the customization setup comes up.

But Fences doesn't seem to be running. Any ideas? Fences 4?

Thanks

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. As mentioned above, Fences is not supported under ARM base system. As far that I know there is no official announcement yet on that.

Sorry to hear that, I'm using parallels 16 and yesterday I found that

TAGO fences is working.

It doesn't have the features I need so i want to stick to STARDOCK fences. But this info might be a help to find a solution for you. Maybe their architecture is a pattern for your development.

M1 will get an incredible market share soon and you shall focus on this if intel doesn't show a competitive product soon.

I want to add an interesting point: the new surface X is also ARM based. So even there fences is not running... please take this into consideration for further development. I think this is the way to go in parallel.

I just bought a Surface Pro X and run Fences on my other computer and love it, so frustrated to find out it does not work. Please add support for Arm

Hello, Fences 4 appeared on the homepage of STARDOCK, Is it ARM compatible?

Hello,

There is no official announcement stating Fences 4 is compatible with ARM.

Thank you,
