Run/Install APK Files on Windows 11 PC [without Emulator]

If you want to install APK files on Windows 11 but don’t know how to do so, this tutorial will help you.

In order to run APKs on Windows 11 without an emulator, you must install the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA). It basically creates a virtual Android machine on your computer. It enables you to sideload APK files of your favorite apps and games on your Windows 11 PC.

Fantastic tutorial! Had a few hiccups with some changes in UI, but using your first method, I was able to get it up and running. Thanks!

I've been struggling to find a good tutorial on how to do this, thank you so much

I ran the apk file with the Windows Subsystem for Android to hopefully catch an exception it's happening in the store but not on Expo Go (from my local machine). Is there a way to get the stack trace from this?

Thanks for this useful video
My question is, through this program, can I connect to my smart watch by installing the required application from Play Store? or in another word does Bluetooth works in this program? Thx a lot

Some Apps have restricted sizes on the Android emulators. Is this the same with WAS?
