Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Why doesn't Windows support hot-patching on 32-bit ARM or MIPS? These architectures either predate the introduction of Windows hot-patching or never had a practical need for it, so support was never built for them. Hot-patching was developed for architectures where live-patching running code was a priority, and 32-bit ARM and MIPS fell outside that scope. _Developers tracking platform-specific Windows internals quirks like this can follow related deep dives on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [September 30, 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/september-30-2026-eiptgpkqy) · The Old New Thing · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [October 1, 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/october-1-2026-jzhaqwznd) · The Old New Thing · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Microsoft extends Windows Server 2022 hotpatching until October 2027](https://daily.dev/posts/microsoft-extends-windows-server-2022-hotpatching-until-october-2027-iflunybmy) · BleepingComputer · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Hotpatching goes default in Windows Autopatch](https://daily.dev/posts/hotpatching-goes-default-in-windows-autopatch-xezqc5m6p) · The Register · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [October 5, 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/october-5-2026-oifpbiwtg) · The Old New Thing · 3 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#hardware](https://daily.dev/tags/hardware), [#windows](https://daily.dev/tags/windows) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/october-2-2026-mlgs022zu) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"October 2, 2026","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/october-2-2026-mlgs022zu","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/october-2-2026-mlgs022zu"},"datePublished":"2026-10-04T02:00:22.546Z","dateModified":"2026-10-04T02:00:35.491Z","description":"Windows hot-patching support is limited to certain architectures because older architectures like 32-bit ARM and MIPS either predate the hot-patching feature...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--2-1xRawN--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2011","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--2-1xRawN--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2011","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"DevBlogs","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"DevBlogs","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/8f68b453325f482ebeb73fb780092713","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/devblogs"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/october-2-2026-mlgs022zu","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"hardware,windows","timeRequired":"PT1M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"DevBlogs","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/devblogs"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"October 2, 2026"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/october-2-2026-mlgs022zu#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Why doesn't Windows support hot-patching on 32-bit ARM or MIPS?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"These architectures either predate the introduction of Windows hot-patching or never had a practical need for it, so support was never built for them.
