Google Drive for Windows on Arm PCs is now widely available

Google has launched its Google Drive app for Arm-compatible Windows PCs powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors, now available as a general release after being in beta. The Arm64 version offers the same functionalities as the traditional app and is exclusively available for Windows 11, requiring Microsoft WebView 2. Beta testers will receive an upgrade prompt, while new users can download the app from Google’s website. This release aligns with the increasing support for Arm64 architecture in applications, including Google Chrome, NordVPN, and ExpressVPN. Microsoft is also working on updates to improve software and gaming experiences through its Prism emulator.

Windows will soon be jamming to MIDI 2.0’s music services

MIDI 2.0 is being previewed in Microsoft Windows as part of Build 27788 within the Windows 11 Canary Channel, marking the first major update to the MIDI protocol since 1983. The Windows MIDI Services include an enhanced MIDI stack that introduces MIDI 2.0 and upgrades MIDI 1.0 for compatibility with Arm64 architecture. Key features of MIDI 2.0 include increased speed and fidelity, enhanced control over instruments, modern bi-directional communication, improved USB timing, and an open-source framework. Microsoft has also provided a Software Development Kit (SDK) and is collaborating on a Network MII 2.0 transport layer for third-party equipment. Additionally, Build 27788 includes improvements such as restoring previously opened tabs in File Explorer, notifications for OneDrive file activity on mobile devices, and a feature to disable the "Start backup" prompt for certain users.

Google is giving Windows on Arm some more love with a native Drive app

Google Drive for Desktop has introduced a beta version that supports Windows on Arm, optimized for Arm64 architecture. Users need a Windows 11 PC with an Arm processor and the WebView2 runtime from Microsoft to use the app. The beta version lacks the Outlook Meet plugin, which may be a drawback for some users. Google Drive is now the second major application optimized for Windows on Arm, following Google Chrome. The Quick Share app is compatible but runs through emulation, potentially causing performance issues. Users are advised to use the beta with non-essential data or ensure backups.

Vulkan graphics API coming to PCs running Windows 11 on Arm

The Vulkan SDK beta (v1.3.290.0) has been launched for developers creating Vulkan API applications for Windows on Arm, featuring Arm64x layers for debugging x8664 Vulkan binaries. This allows x8664 applications to run on Arm64 devices without a complete rebuild. The SDK includes a native Arm64 shader toolchain and retains existing file names and libraries for easier porting. Installation requires Windows 11 on Arm (64 bits), a Vulkan Installable Client Driver, at least 8 GB of memory, and about 1 GB of storage. Certain components are currently missing but will be added in future updates. Vulkan is a low-level graphics and compute API that provides enhanced control over GPU resources.
