Did you build Zed for aarch64-pc-windows-msvc? I think the Vulkan SDK found at https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home#windows is x86_64 only. Maybe it works if you build for x86_64-pc-window-msvc and use the x86_64->arm64 translation component of Windows?

is there no windows arm 64 snapdragon x elite for Zed?

please provide roadmap for arm 64 windows, hopefully ar64 windows is easier than x86 windows to build for us.
and in the meantime way to run through wsl with gui?

It's possible to run it in X11 mode with WAYLAND_DISPLAY='' zed. But no GPU support in that mode, and the speed isn't ideal...
