Folding on WIndows 11 ARM (Snapdragon X plus/elite)

Just tried folding@Home on my new Snapdragon x plus WIndows 11 ARM laptop, and even though I've enabled all 8 CPU cores, I'm only seeing 50% CPU utilization.
Does anybody have a solution to this?
Also, the tasks are x64, not native ARM64, when will native support be added?

Not soon.
You might try the arm Linux tarball in WSL.

There are no folding cores compiled for Windows ARM, so the suggestion of trying the Linux installation under WSL is the only way to have native cores running.

I suggested the tarball because I assume the systemd install won’t work in WSL.
