Users can find the Android applications they need in Microsoft Store, and thanks to the in-depth integration of Win11, these applications can run as perfectly as ordinary Windows applications.

Microsoft said that preliminary tests conducted in the United States and Japan have aroused great interest from users and developers. Although Microsoft's desktop operating system does not support Google Play Store and its services, many users are happy to get their favorite Android App on Windows.

Currently, Windows 11 users can get Android App on Windows 11 through Amazon App Store, or use APK files downloaded from the Internet for side installation.

In addition, Amazon App Store on Windows 11 now has access to more than 20000 popular games. To improve discoverability and make it easier for users to access Android App on Windows 11, the Microsoft App Store will include them in search results, provide ratings and comments, and support sharing links with others.

The latest version of WSA is 2208.40000.4.0, which improves security, input issues, general reliability, and performance. CTOnews.com partners can find updates to download the new version of WSA in the Microsoft Windows 11 App Store, or they can download the full installation package manually.
