    Hi @wefletcher:

    There are a few possible causes of this.

    1. Are you using a Surface Pro X? The Surface Pro X is using an ARM64 processor, rather than x86, and 1Password 8 for Windows currently does not have ARM builds available. Windows 10 on ARM cannot currently emulate x86-64 applications which is our current available version of 1Password 8 for Windows. With Windows 11, this is supported however.
    2. If you're not using a Surface Pro X, do you have Windows 10 S mode enabled? Windows 10 and Windows 11 in S mode FAQ

    Let me know and I'll be able to dig into this further with you.

    Edit: I've amended the above to clarify that part 1 only applies to Windows 10, and with Windows 11, support for running x86-64 applications on ARM devices is available.

    Jack
