Our field worker crews are working with windows 10 tablets (MS Surface). Therefore we urgently need the new field maps running on windows (10) platform.

Update (August/03/2022) - As my post is nearly one year old: Is it in sight that there will be a fieldmaps solution for Windows OS? Any timetable?

 

Thanks in advance!

At this time, a Windows version of ArcGIS Field Maps is not planned. 

The recommended approach is to utilize ArcGIS Field Maps on Android and iOS platforms.  Alternative ArcGIS applications available on the Windows’s platform include ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Survey123, ArcGIS QuickCapture, and ArcGIS Earth.

I completely agree with the points raised. Our IT environment is heavily Windows-based, and any suggestion to adopt iPads or other non-Windows devices is quickly dismissed. Every department in our organization relies on Windows devices, and shifting to a different platform would be both costly and disruptive. That said, I rely on Field Maps because we often don’t have Wi-Fi access in the field, and I need a solution that works seamlessly in offline conditions on our existing Windows infrastructure.
