Crash when running on Windows 11 on ARM

Describe the bug

An unhandled exception of type ‘System.AccessViolationException’ occurred in Avalonia.Win32.dll Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt

To Reproduce

Run new Avalonia app from template on Windows 11 on ARM

Expected behavior

No crash

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11 on ARM
• Version 0.10.x

Additional context

Running inside VM MacOS M1 Parallels

Disabling WindowsUIComposition avoids crash.

new Win32PlatformOptions() {  UseWindowsUIComposition = false }

@Lakritzator my apologies, I pinged a wrong person.

@olifink thank you testing these changes. If you will find anything else, please let me know.

[wieslawsoltes]

@wieslawsoltes same results with the final release of net 7.0 - empty window on a real Windows Arm machine. It seems very likely that mac Parallels replaces/redirects the display driver/compositor to macOS native/metal, so the behavior in rendering is different on Windows Arm hardware than on emulation

Also, when I try the original workaround you described with UseWindowsUIComposition = false I get a completely black window, same as any other Avalonia based app I try to run (Lunacy, dotMemory, dotTrace)

Try disabling GPU rendering and other thing to try Direct2D1 backend
