Microsoft sent a note to developers yesterday, March 5, 2024, about the WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android) application, which allows you to launch applications by having previously downloaded them from the Amazon application store.
Microsoft is ending support for Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA). Therefore, the Amazon Appstore on Windows and all WSA-dependent apps and games will no longer be supported starting March 5, 2025. Until then, technical support will remain available to customers.
Launched with great fanfare by Microsoft in 2022, the Windows publisher boasted of running Android, WPA, Win32 and Linux applications under Windows 11 simultaneously. However, time seems to have taken its toll on Windows Subsystem Android in the Microsoft Store.
Installation too complicated
It must be said that launching an Android app on Windows was far from easy. You first had to have a processor capable of virtualization and activate the option in the PC BIOS, have an Amazon account and ensure that the desired application was available in the Amazon Appstore by having it. previously installed from the Microsoft Store. And often, the app in question did not work properly.
