Add an arm64 build for Windows
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Reduced performance and battery life on Snapdragon X Elite processors (arm64).
Describe the solution you'd like Provide a Windows installer with a build compiled for arm64.
Describe alternatives you've considered The amd64 build works at the expense of reduced performance and battery life.
Additional context N/A.
would love to know if there is a ETA for the arm64 release. the x64 release does weird reconnection to its peers
I'd like to +1 this now that Microsoft Surface laptops are moving only to ARM territory.
would love an arm64 version here too! if you can point me to build docs, i can always trying building one myself haha
+1 - the x86 client doesn't work correctly. On Mac silicon everything works great, but you have to use the x86 client on Windows and it definitely doesn't. I've gotten it to fire up once or twice but the rest of the time it just gets stuck on connecting.
we are building arm64 versions for windows: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/download/v0.56.1/netbird_installer_0.56.1_windows_arm64.exe
We will add the links this week.

Works like a champ!
#4206 appears to have fully merged this in and releases are being generated as of 0.54.0 (https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/tag/v0.54.0)
Perhaps the amd64 client should detect if its running on a arm64 machine and suggest changing to that version on an update?
But I guess this request can be closed!
This won't be possible yet. But we will add the link to download on our dashboard really soon.
In the meantime, please use these links for the latest downloads:
EXE: https://pkgs.netbird.io/windows/arm64 MSI: https://pkgs.netbird.io/windows/msi/arm64
FYI @mlsmaycon ; I'm now running the arm64 version - seems to work great! However, unlike for Mac, there is only one download URL specified in the code for Windows, so when there's an update available, it sends you to the amd64 link rather than the arm64 link
Should I open another issue for that specifically?
I did one better and opened a pull request with code that should hopefully fix the problem in #4586
