A number of applications in the Patch My PC catalog offer ARM architecture support and this seems to be gaining popularity. A couple examples I've noticed thus far are Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, Sysmon just released ARM support this week, and Zscaler is slated to release an ARM version with their next major release.
This could be accomplished either in the existing deployment type code where the architecture is detected and the appropriate source file is executed or through a second deployment type with Requirements set to all the Windows ARM OS versions.
This feature is now in Public Preview. To use it, enable "Public Preview" features in your Cloud Portal. This can be done from Settings --> Company
Are we able to get a progress update please?
We are wanting to move to ARM pretty swiftly and would really like an update on this.
Are there any newer updates on this? we are looking to place an order an day for 230 new laptops that will be snapdragon. Would be good to get some kind of timeline so we can plan things out
We're currently migrating part of our device fleet to Windows on ARM, so native ARM64 support in Patch My PC is becoming increasingly important for us. Relying on x86 emulation isn’t ideal, it impacts performance and limits long-term viability. ARM-native support would help ensure compatibility and smooth deployment as ARM adoption grows across our environment.
There is an updated Requirements selection now available for Win32 Apps, allowing to specifically choose Arm64 as a required architecture.
This is in Graph as the "allowedArchitectures" property being set to "arm64".
It's worth noting that (I assume for compatibility reasons) all existing apps that had been configured as x64 also have the arm64 flag.
Hello, I wanted to post an update on ARM Support. While working on this feature we have ran into a number of setbacks and issues, specifically regarding applicability and detection when it comes to Intel x64 and ARM64 apps on ARM devices. These have unfortunately delayed this feature and we are unable to give a clear timeline for ARM support at the moment.
I also want to apologize for prematurely providing a timeline on a previous update, and being unable to deliver on that timeframe. Do know that we are actively working on this feature and are doing our best to provide ARM support with the same quality that our customers have come to expect from patch My PC.
Make sure you're blocking Edge/Webview2 updates to your ARM devices in the interim because it will cause problems! The fix is easy but was a bear to find!
Extract .cab files from here https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/?form=MA13LH
Copy arm64 folder from extractedcab\Microsoft.WebView2.FixedVersionRuntime.135.0.3179.73.arm64\EBWebView
to the 3 directories below.
"${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application\$Version\EBWebView\",
"${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Microsoft\EdgeCore\$Version\EBWebView\",
"${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Microsoft\Edge\Application\$Version\EBWebView\"
We need this for deploying the Cisco Secure Client (VPN and Umbrella). We are moving nearly our entire fleet to ARM64-based PCs. I had to switch to manually managing these apps via Intune instead of PatchMyPC. I would really appreciate the ARM64 architecture for this app (and really for any app, as this only going to become more prevalent over the coming years).
I agree with Jose Nava.
Unfortunately, our company (IT department) is now preparing a vote on whether to wait for PMP to support ARM64 or to use alternative patch management for ARM64 :(
2 years old voting and still in planned state even if it is so important thing.
There are millions of ARM-based PCs on the market, and Patch My PC should have been prepared for this. There shouldn’t be a need for customers to vote on such an idea. It’s crucial that this gets addressed ASAP. For those managing Patch My PC using Intune, you can create a filter that prevents ARM-based computers from being updated, to avoid breaking applications like Teams, Outlook, etc...
Same here (Win11 on Xiaomi Book). PMPC-installer keeps asking for .net8, even when it's already installed.
I wonder when the planned support will be effectuated.
The old version seems to work, though. At least partially, i.e. for emulated installs.
It appears that ARM64 isn't fully supported by the Patch My PC HomeUpdater installer. I can't get past the .NET runtime requirement even with existing runtime installed. No response yet from PMPC support after someone else reported back in November 2024.
If the installer can automatically detect the architecture and deploy a version accordingly, that'd be so convenient and godsend. We are planning to test ARM devices in our environment and this will be very helpful.
We have recently noticed some ARM64 computers picking up through Intune X64 updates that cause issues with an already installed ARM64 application. If this is not coming out soon, we should have a way through PMPC to exclude ARM64 processors from getting updates.
acrobat seems to be supported in emulation mode but we still need to change the requirements to add arm64 for it to install. in the mean time i hope they will also bring native version...

Moving this to planned. We've started initial work on ARM support, and have ARM planned as part of an overhaul of our catalog backend. We expect some support for ARM within the next 6 months, but probably sooner!
any update? we really would like to modify the deployment type code to make x86 apps available on our ARM devices/VMs.
