- The latest version of Windhawk, a popular personalization tool, supports ARM
- This means that those with Snapdragon PCS can use it to put their own stamp on Windows 11
- There are captures here, however, including all the Windhawk Mods will not work on arms PCs as soon as
Those who have a COPILOT + PC processor that has a Snapdragon (ARM) processor now has more customization options for Windows 11 at hand, because a popular third -party application has a version that works on these devices.
Yes, anyone with an ARM -based PC watching with Windhawk envy, and the powers that this tool has in terms of modification of the Windows 11 desk, can now take advantage of the application – while previously only those with AMD and Intel CPU could.
Windows Central has resumed the launch of a new version of Windhawk (v1.6) which is optimized for snapdragon fleas.
The version notes of Windhawk V1.6 inform us that: “Windhawk can now be installed on the Arm64 versions of Windows, and the personalization of the native Arm64 programs is fully supported. Personalization of X86 and X64 programs on Arm64 windows has limits, which could be improved in the future.
Windhawk is a basic platform that allows you to browse a table of mods and apply one of them to Windows 11, allowing you to choose and choose the customizations you want.
Thus, you can change the taskbar for example, or go to town to revise the start menu or apply an entire theme. A recent example of the latter is a theme inspired by Windows Vista for Windhawk, giving Windows 11 a retro atmosphere while keeping its modern lines.
Analysis: a powerful utility with some warnings
It cannot be a bad thing that a popular software that is really bristling with options to make Windows 11 different now is now more widely available. After all, it is not only people with AMD or Intel PCs who might want to modify and polish Windows 11 (or perhaps even change it entirely).
That said, there are some light catches here. First, as the communication notes indicate, some mods may need to tinker with to work on an ARM -based PC with Windhawk 1.6 – and the authors may or not, go around this. Your choices can always be more limited with a Snapdragon PC given this, in particular these first days for the vision of the arms on the public service.
In addition, I have to issue a usual warning here which is that Windhawk is third -party software, and you must always be careful when installing such applications on your PC.
In this case, Windhawk has existed for some time and has the reputation of sufficiently secure perspective with regard to third -party efforts. But still, it must be said that you install something on your system at your own risk – even if it is a apparently low level of risk.
In addition to potential security problems, there are also times when third -party applications that personalize the Windows 11 interface can considerably throw in progress with regard to Microsoft’s monthly fixes (or annual upgrades elsewhere).
Windhawk is particularly appreciated for its ability to refine the Start menu and make tips such as the deletion of the recommended panel of this part of the Windows 11 interface, a piece of the jigsaw which, according to many, embarrassment. (Although this capacity can be provided by Microsoft, finally, based on hidden indices in the Windows 11 test versions – but for the moment, you will need a bypass to do so, like Windhawk).
