I am learning Intel X64 assembly language under Windows 11. Currently I'm using the latest Visual Studio 2022 preview with its built-in MASM64. I have looked everywhere for a good assembler and/or a good assembly IDE. I tried all of those: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_assemblers#x86-64_assemblers. All the IDE's I found are either a toy, discontinued, buggy or inferior to VS22. The best so far is VS22 as an IDE. I'm not interested in inline assembly within a C/C program, only pure assembly language. Not interested in the MASM32 SDK as I want to learn to write pure assembly with only INCLUDELIB for WinAPI libraries. Is there an X64 assembler that can integrate with VS22? Is there a paid/commercial/proffesional/industrial grade X64 assembler? Can Intel C compiler be used only as an assembler (it has a VS22 plugin extension)? Which assembler Intel uses to test their CPU's? X86 architecture is more than 40 years old so I wonder how come it is so hard to find a good assembler and IDE. What do they use in the industry? @Peter Cordes, I wonder what you use?

Creel has the option of sharing VS and Assembler. You can see here. Perhaps this is what you want to achieve.
