P: Native Support for WOS/CoPilot/ARM Devices

Dear Adobe Team,

I would like to request that Adobe Bridge be made available for Window devices using ARM processors (Snapdragon).  It would greatly enhance productivity. Adobe Bridge and Lightroom Classic are an important part of my creative process. 

Thank you.

well.. i LOVE my Windows ARM laptop (Surface laptop) -- it's way faster and has way better battery life than any other laptop i've had.

I'm using adobe apps quite successfully -- though I'm a big ME TOO supporting the idea that adobe please do a native-port of LRC. 

(Fwiw -- I've now 'adapted' my workflow to deal with the one really annoying bug:  I move the videos off my SD card *before* i engage LRC import.  then everything works fine, and honestly, even without it being native the perf of LRC is better on the ARM laptop than my intel-based PC.)

I got a Surface Pro, and would personally not do so again. Lightroom/Photoshop is only one of several incomatibilities. Very, very few printers are compatible, as well. I had a perfectly good Canon printer, tossed it and got a "newer model" with absolute guarantees that it is fully compativle. It is not. Now to scan, I needed to install a print app on my phone, start the fax process on my phone, the printer sends the fax to my phone, and then I need to have the phone send the pdf to my computer.

...and then there's our friends at adobe... 😞

Me too!

That's on Adobe's list of "known issues":

Windows ARM processor issues

• Slideshow functionality isn't working.
• Importing video files fails.
• The SSD isn't visible in the import window after expanding folders.
• The "Edit in Photoshop" option is disabled.

It's good to see that Adobe acknowledges the problem, but they should also confirm if they are working on it and in what timescale we can expect a resolution. 

I an currently looking for a new laptop and would love going to ARM, but I need to be able to import Videos on LrC.

It's supported worldwide for that type of device, but only in emulation mode sadly (can confirm that it works on my Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x with the same architecture as yours, albiet with a few known bugs listed above)

@Soundwave857: "Any updates for native ARM support?"

This thread will be updated immediately if/when Adobe releases native ARM support for Windows.

Any updates for native ARM support? 

As stated above it is now available worldwide: P: Native Support for WOS/CoPilot/ARM Devices - Page 6 - Adobe Community - 13649447

However, it is in 386 emulation mode: "a route I want to go down". It is not ideal, but nothing you have to handle yourself.
