Rekordbox not starting on Windows ARM (Snapdragon X Elite)
Hi,
After installing rekordbox on my new Surface Pro 11 running a Snapdragon X Elite, it won't launch (it should normally be able using the Prism translation layer of windows but for some reason, it can't start).
Are you planning to release a quick fix for this, or even an arm64 version of rekordbox in the near future ?
Thank you very much

Sorry, but ARM is not currently supported.
We do not know when it will be supported.
@Gabriel
Appreciate you cannot comment on timings or any future plans, but could you please confirm that the technical team are at least aware of this situation.
Thanks.
Yes, they are aware.
Any news? it's a shame that it does not work emulated. Traktor 4 and Engine DJ are actually working.
bump. I second, a rekordbox 7 Windows on arm version would be very appreciated!
Hi Leo! I was able to used the ver. 6 of Rekordbox DJ on my Microsoft Copilot+ PC but I haven't tried any controllers on my laptop. Have you ever tried to use a controller on your Surface Pro?
Hi ! I also was able to use rekordbox v6, but v7 is not starting at all. And yes, I'm using a DDJ-400, which is working with v6 arm64 emulated.
Good to hear that! How was it? Do you have encounter any problem while you are playing? I was hoping that FLX10 is working under emulation too.
I have the same problem on my surface laptop!
The lovely Gabriel has confirmed in the below thread that Rekordbox version 7.0 requires an AVX2 compatible CPU
RekordBox 7 does not open – Pioneer DJ Community
The current version of the Windows 11 PRISM emulator, which allows x86 code to run on ARM, does not support the AVX2 instruction set.
Windows Insider build 27744 includes updates to the PRISM emulator in Windnows 11 to suport AVX2 instructions.

TL;DR - Rekordbox 7 should run on future windows 11 versions once this insider build goes live - if someone wants to test this now on the Windows 11 insider canary channel, and post back their results , that would be helpful.
