Microsoft has published a detailed list of applications that now run natively on its Arm-powered Copilot Plus PCs. The company noted that the catalogue has grown to cover recently added apps across categories such as security, productivity, and entertainment.
According to Microsoft, programs that account for nearly 90 per cent of total usage time on Windows are now supported natively on Arm devices. The expansion is part of the company’s broader effort to position Copilot Plus PCs as everyday machines for mainstream users, particularly as Windows 10 reaches the end of its support lifecycle on October 14, 2025.
Microsoft has been working with independent software vendors (ISVs) and its App Assure program to ensure that essential software categories — from endpoint security to creative tools — are available in Arm-native form without relying heavily on emulation, which can limit performance.
Why does it matter?
For consumers, the availability of Arm-native apps means that everyday tasks — whether streaming Netflix, editing photos in Photoshop, or using Microsoft Teams for work — will run smoothly without the performance compromises often seen in emulation. This ensures that Copilot Plus PCs deliver the speed and battery life advantages of Arm processors without sacrificing app compatibility.
For enterprises, the expansion of security, VPN, and endpoint management apps means IT departments can easily integrate Copilot Plus PCs into existing workflows.
