VS Code is available for Windows ARM64 natively, which results in great performance. However, CodeHelper.exe is still x86, which uses emulation on Windows ARM64, resulting in slower performance.
It'd be great if CodeHelper.exe could be made available for Windows ARM64 natively. Currently, this module targets .NET Framework 4.5, which doesn't support ARM64. Therefore, it would first need to be upgraded to .NET 5.

Therefore, it would first need to be upgraded to .NET 5.I'm happy to help with upgrading if the team would like that, and I have some first work done in https://github.com/dennisameling/vscode-filewatcher-windows/tree/dotnet-5, which compiles just fine. The team would need to decide which deployment model they prefer (self-contained or framework-dependent), which may have a significant impact on binary size.
