Hi,

Microsoft has lately released 2 new architecture targets for VS2022: Arm64 and Arm64EC.

We’re currently using an older version of OpenCV that is not compatible with Windows on Arm. I just wanted to ask whether the latest version is now fully compatible? If no, is this part of the future roadmap?

Thank you very much!

I have no clue about any of that. I found this, which suggests that there used to be some work on that. [opencv/platforms/winrt at 4.x · opencv/opencv · GitHub](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/tree/4.x/platforms/winrt)

and there’s **this** : [Added NEON support in builds for Windows on ARM by shibayan · Pull Request #21630 · opencv/opencv · GitHub](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/pull/21630)

so I’d guess there’s interest and effort and if you notice any issues, they will welcome your voice over on the github

Thanks! Will try to integrate the latest version then and if I notice anything will raise my issues on the github.
