Microsoft Copilot Plus PCs get a security boost with ExpressVPN app
Will other VPN providers follow suit?

- ExpressVPN is one of the first major VPN services to release an Arm-compatible version of its app for Copilot Plus PCs.
- Most VPN apps currently don’t work on Microsoft’s new Copilot Plus PCs, posing a significant issue for users.
- The company opted for a hybrid approach and used Microsoft’s Prism emulator to build an app that’s capable of providing users with a comparable experience to a native app.
Copilot Plus PCs are out now, and after a fairly extensive 48-hour test, we discovered a major limitation: Most VPN apps just don’t work on these devices. While this isn’t exactly a deal-breaker for everyone, it most definitely is for those in enterprise environments. We, of course, reached out to several VPN providers and learned that many were developing compatible versions of their apps, which meant users wouldn’t have to rely on temporary workarounds for too long. Fortunately, progress has finally been made on this front.
As of today, ExpressVPN is one of the first top VPN services to announce an Arm-compatible version of its service. Initially, the plan was for ExpressVPN to build an Arm-native app, but the company ultimately decided to take a different approach.
