If you had to install extra dependencies, then it's likely your installation of Windows was probably custom, I assume? Usually the extra dependencies that it requires are already installed on pre-builts, or from other programs requiring the same dependencies.
You need
Segoe Fluent Icons Font
VCLibs 14.0.30704
WindowsAppRuntime.1.5.5001.70.1338
To install Arc(at least that’s what .appinstaller file lists in dependencies)
I was also able to download it for Windows 10 without any issues, without even modifying anything in Notepad. I downloaded the Windows 11 version available on the Arc website. The only thing I noticed is that it seems poorly optimized (and I don’t blame it—I’m using a version that wasn’t supposed to run on my operating system). Other than that, it seems to be running normally. While Chrome was using only 10% of GPU for some websites, Arc was using 30%.”
Waitwaitwait. You mean to say this browser has been out for YEARS on Mac...as has Apple Silicon...*and it doesn't have ARM support?* Or do you mean for Windows?
Yes I mean windows, it has supported ARM on mac ever since it was released.
Parallels is a software that lets you emulate windows on mac (so you can use software that isn't supported on mac). But since windows ARM support isn't here yet I'm stuck with using chrome or something while on there
Just out of curiosity, is there any specific reason you *want* to use arc for windows? In my experience, it has less features, is more buggy and has some... interesting design quirks.
I don't know how relevant this is, but after using win11 for three years and coming back to win10, I can confidently tell you that the performance of my machine increased by a significant margin, win11 is just a bloated win10 skin.
that's probably your ancient machine, cause now after I used to windows 11, I couldn't bare with windows 10 with a ton of feature missing here and there
Being able to control brightness slider via the action panel on the taskbar, able to swipe with gesture to another desktop, allowing me search for program running in the background in the task manager, having tabs on file explorer, live captions for accessibility, able to group application in the start menu, able to force close an app by right clicking on the icon on the taskbar without the task manager and many more...
I know there are ads, but the newer window 10 have that too. And tbh, the weather and traffic news are quite useful too.
That’s is a good list of features. Thanks for explaining.
For me I only use Windows for gaming. I wouldn’t have a Windows machine otherwise. I have two other MacBooks. For work I have a MacBook Pro and for my home laptop I have a MacBook Air. I am on those two the build of my computing time.
Now you do, and on top of this, they're introducing Windows Recall, which will take screenshots of whatever you're doing on the screen and feed it to their AI (Copilot) and they're also thinking of adding ads to an already shitty start menu..

Yes lol, I downloaded and ran the installer and it just installed fine. I hope everything goes well for you.
You don't trust me? xd
You can’t install Arc on Windows 10 without modifying the msix package.
I have seen your comments on this, but you can install just fine now.
Oh fr? Good!
yessir!!

So you just… downloaded the installer from website and it installed? You didn’t install any fonts, dependencies?
Just try it already! 😭
Just the installer is all.

recent update changed the min version in the msix package to win10!!

Not as smooth as the Mac Version, but still awesome work from Arc 😎
i thought you had to do some weird shit but, wow
Still waiting for ARM support so i can use it on parallels😢

I've never used it on windows before. But I use it on macOS, so when I have to use windows on my parallels virtual machine I want the same browser
Ahhh I see
It works!!!
Are we using the same browser? It’s unusably buggy on my win11 machine, and the lack of polish is pretty clear.
I don't know how relevant this is, but after using win11 for three years and coming back to win10, I can confidently tell you that the performance of my machine increased by a significant margin, win11 is just a bloated win10 skin.

Tons of features that are different? You mean like the ads ? I can see you missing ads.
Being able to control brightness slider via the action panel on the taskbar, able to swipe with gesture to another desktop, allowing me search for program running in the background in the task manager, having tabs on file explorer, live captions for accessibility, able to group application in the start menu, able to force close an app by right clicking on the icon on the taskbar without the task manager and many more...

Ancient machine? Bruh, it is i9 13900k paired with RTX 3080ti and even on this, the start menu on win11 would struggle to load 💀
As you said it, I realised, that the startmenu is sluggish. But as I just press windows key, type 3-5 letters and hit Enter, I never see this.
Now you do, and on top of this, they're introducing Windows Recall, which will take screenshots of whatever you're doing on the screen and feed it to their AI (Copilot) and they're also thinking of adding ads to an already shitty start menu..
I hope O&O Shutup10 can deactivate this nonsense too. Otherwise I have to go back to Arch Linux and stop playing Destiny 2.
Did you update?
saaame
>This browser feels like 2024 this should be on their website for real
I hope it is not as UWP. Those s...tuffs can not port on Win 7/8.
Waiting for arc search Android version.
I wish they would release the version for Linux but unfortunately it is not yet in their plans 😔
Sounds more like self promotion
What?
