Bump! @sylvain-combe-sonarsource @costin-zaharia-sonarsource ? I'm on Windows 11 ARM (surface laptop 7) -- so this applies equally here.

Hi @oising, I do not work in the SonarLint team. I'm not sure how I can help.

Okay, it didn't seem crazy to tag you when you have sonarsource in your name. Is the lint plugin not supported by your company?

Hi @oising
The best way to influence SonarLint's roadmap is to promote existing items or new ideas directly on its roadmap page.

Hi @EmrecanKaracayir
Thanks for sharing. If you successfully used this Microsoft Devblog page to generate a SonarLint binary for VS that works on Windows ARM64, you will have a much wider audience for this valuable input on the Sonar Community.

Download the vsix extension from the marketplace.
Open with 7zip and double-click the file "extension.vsixmanifest" to open with Notepad or Visual Studio (depending on your settings).
Search and replace "amd64" with "arm64" (in the "InstallationTarget" section).
Save the file and jump back to 7zip; a popup appears that tell you if you want to update the archive; click yes.
Install the extension and enjoy Sonarlint on VS2022/Windows ARM

This works. @sylvain-combe-sonarsource -- all your team needs to do is adjust the manifest to declare support for arm64. No code changes neccessary. I can confirm the above works on a WOA 11 ARM64 with VS 2022 ARM64. Works perfectly.
