ETA for AV1 Decode support on Windows?

Server Version#: 1.41.7.9749
Player Version#: 2025.15.0 (1053)

Computer: Asus Nuc Pro 14+.
CPU: Intel Core Ultra 5 125H
iGPU: Intel Arc Graphics
RAM: 32 GB DDR5

Hi, i’d like to know if there is an ETA for AV1 Decode support on windows.

I know it is currently working on linux but I can’t install linux on this machine as i also use it as my PC.

I have lots and lots of movies in 4K AV1 format, and if someone needs to transcode it the server is doing the decode in software even if my iGPU fully supports AV1 decoding and encoding in hardware, and this is making the CPU go 100% just for decoding the movie. The encoding to H265 is done fully in hardware, just not the decoding.

This is a bit miserable for me because i can’t fully transition to AV1 (it will reduce my used storage by 50%) until this is implemented.

Any ETA for this? Thanks.
