Hey, do you know where I can read more about this hack? 😊

That hack is to transform an app launch of an AArch32 Store app into a download of the x86_32 version of the store app, and then launch that one.
Officially: AArch32 apps aren’t supported on Arm64 Windows outside of the Microsoft Store case, so it works out.

Yeah, I supposed they'd just run an emulated version 😬 I wonder if M$ is going to finally have arm64 Store in Windows 11 🤔
On a similar note, I also don't get why do they emulate x86 .NET Framework on arm64 if they have arm32 version for Windows RT 🤕

We did have working ARM32 emulator / binary translator, but choose not to go that route
