Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com October 24, Microsoft officially announced that it has officially launched Windows 11 Android subsystem WSA v1, which allows Windows 11 users to run Android applications through the Amazon App Store. Cory Hendrixson, partner Development Manager at Microsoft, recently said that this feature has officially left the Beta testing phase and is now available in 31 countries, supporting more than 50,000 applications.

Cory Hendrixson tweeted, "Windows Subsystem for Android is officially released, with 31 markets and more than 50000 apps! it's amazing how easy it is to run these apps. It feels like running a normal windows app. WAPost, Kindle Reader (on my Surface Go 3) and Metro Parkour are my favorites."

This new feature means that Windows 11 users don't have to rely on Android emulators, but there are still some caveats.

Esper editor Mishaal Rahman also lists a detailed list of missing features, as well as roadmap features expected in the next Android 13 update.
