After what seems like months (oh wait, it\u2019s been four months), the Windows 11 operating system can now run Android apps<\/a>. But only if you\u2019re a Windows Insider. Oh, and you have to be on the Beta channel, because Android apps don\u2019t work on the Dev build yet. This is confusing!<\/p>\n

Instead of pushing a new Windows Insider build with Android app compatibility all neatly set up, Microsoft wants us to do things by hand. That means you\u2019ll need the latest version of the Windows Insider Beta build, plus Microsoft Store version 22110.1402.6.0 or higher (go to your Library and click the \u201cGet Updates\u201d button).<\/p>\n

Once that\u2019s set up, you need to enable virtualization for your PC\u2019s BIOS\/UFEI\u2014Microsoft has a guide<\/a> to help you through this confusing process. If you aren\u2019t sure whether virtualization is enabled on your PC or not, I suggest skipping this part for now. If things don\u2019t work, you can come back and enable virtualization.<\/p>\n

You can now open this super cool shortcut<\/a> to set up the\u00a0Windows Subsystem for Android on your PC and sign in to your Amazon account (if the login link doesn\u2019t work, turn off your browser\u2019s adblocker). Once that\u2019s all done, you should see the Amazon App Store Beta within the Windows Store. Yaaay, Android apps!<\/p>\n

Microsoft says that you can adjust how Android apps work using the Windows Subsystem for Android, which should show up in your Start menu. Just keep in mind that, for whatever reason, Windows 11 will automatically open the Amazon App Store during startup. (We\u2019re investigating this quirk\u2014Microsoft doesn\u2019t clarify why Amazon App Store is set to autorun or if you can disable it.)<\/p>\n

There\u2019s one last thing I\u2019d like to mention. We usually like to try out these new Windows 11 features for ourselves before writing about them. It\u2019s the best way to really understand this stuff, and of course, it\u2019s the only way to get unique images for our articles.<\/p>\n

But we can\u2019t get Android apps working on Windows 11! And I have a feeling that other tech journalists are having the same problem, given that they\u2019re all using images provided by Microsoft<\/a>. So if Android apps aren\u2019t working for you just yet, I suggest stepping back for a little bit and taking a deep breath. It\u2019s not your fault!<\/p>\n
