Windows 11 Support Thread

I'm actually looking for the playstore to side load apps. I got this Windows 11 laptop for my son and there is an app called Toddle they use for Learning which is only available on tablets/phones (Android / ipadOS). I dont want him to use too many devices unnecessarily.

The WSATools makes it easy to sideload Android apps on Windows 11, and here's how to use it.

Although the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) allows you to sideload virtually any Android app on Windows 11, this is still a tedious process because you have to manually install the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) tools from Google, and you have to use different commands to install an application.

However, there's an easier way to install apps outside the Amazon AppStore.

If you have to install a specific Android app, you can use the WSATools, a third-party tool that simplifies the sideload process by removing all the extra steps with a simple interface to install any Android app using an APK file.

This guide will walk you through the steps to use the WSATools to sideload Android apps on Windows 11.

Android apps have arrived on Windows 11... sort of. The feature is still being labeled as a ‘preview’ for the time being, and you’re limited to apps from the Amazon Appstore (not the Google one), but it’s open to everyone and it doesn’t take long to get started.

Here, we’ll take you through the steps of installing Android apps on your Windows 11 computer.

The appeal is clear: Being able to load up Android apps and games while leaving your phone in your pocket. Your PC gives you more screen space and all the convenience of keyboard and mouse inputs, so there are plenty of reasons why you would want to get your most-used apps up on a desktop interface.

Has anyone tried the Explorer tabs?
Does it remember the open tabs if you close and then reopen Explorer and does it remember them if you restart the pc or logout/login?

Microsoft fails at it again, useless useless knts, it’s not like it’s functionality foreign to them because they had the option to remember open explorer windows when you restart.
