Description of Issue
I just subscribed to Roon and the execution on Windows 10 doesn’t work ( This application can’t run on your PC !!). Any update on this topic ?
When the Surface Pro X was introduced, the x86 emulation on this ARM processor only supported OpenGL graphics up to version 1.1.
The Roon UI requires OpenGL version 3 support.
Unless Microsoft has managed to improve the emulation to support version 3.0 of OpenGL, then the Roon UI will not work on this device.
I suspect that Microsoft has not improved the emulation.
Microsoft introduced a new Surface device this week: the Surface Pro X.
It’s their first ARM-based Surface product.
Microsoft has also just published a Windows 10 ARM-based PC app compatibility document . I noticed this item:
Certain games won’t work . Games and apps won’t work if they use a version of OpenGL greater than 1.1
Given that Roon requires OpenGL 3.0 as a minimum requirement, this seems to indicate that you won’t be able to use a Surface Pro X as a Roon remote.

Hi @yves_froppier
Geoff is correct — Roon requires OpenGL 3.0 to work properly, and since this isn’t supported by the Surface Pro X, this will not work with Roon. Apologies for the inconvenience!
