*Corrections:*
– At 10:43, we said that Avid Pro Tools works via the Prism translation layer. Unfortunately, we have since discovered that because of an issue with the iLok licensing software running via Prism, Pro Tools, at least right now, does not work. The same thing goes for anything else using iLok as the licensing software; it will not work until iLok adds support for Windows on ARM, as it seems to need a driver to work, and that type of lower level tool _cannot_ be translated via Prism, at least as of May 6th, 2026.
– In a similar vein, YouTube user @airtaxi actually let us know in a comment on this video that Android Studio is running via Prism. This would likely explain the Android virtual machine not working on ARM Windows 11.
