About this tag
The arm64 development tag on WindowsForum.com follows news and discussion about building, packaging, and running software natively on Windows on Arm hardware. A central thread covers Python 3.15's native-first push for Windows on Arm, including PyPI wheels, Conda packages, and GitHub Actions support, and how that shift reduces reliance on x64 emulation for compiled libraries. The coverage notes that native Arm64 CPython builds have existed since Python 3.11, but third-party tooling historically favored Intel and AMD binaries. Together these items suit developers tracking Arm64 toolchains, package availability, and Microsoft's evolving Windows on Arm developer story.
