The Patch My PC Home Updater itself can now run on ARM-based devices, which is great progress. However, today it does not detect or update ARM-specific installers for applications that provide native ARM builds. This means updates may still install the x86 version instead of the ARM-optimized one.
Adding support for detecting and updating ARM-native installers would ensure users on ARM devices can stay fully up to date with the correct architecture of their applications.
We released this in version 5.3.1: https://patchmypc.com/release-notes/production-release/home-updater-releases/#h-5-3-1-0-02-october-2025. There are about 20 ARM specific apps. In the nest version, there will be an icon for ARM-specific apps to make it more clear as well.
We released Arm64 application support in today's preview build https://patchmypc.com/release-notes/production-release/home-updater-releases/#h-5-3-0-3-05-september-2025-preview-only
