What is the Windows Subsystem for Android and How does it Work?

Windows Subsystem for Android is a new feature in Windows 11 that allows you to run Android apps on your Windows PC. It’s an emulation layer that lets you run the same code that would run on an Android device, but with some tweaks and optimizations to make it work better on a PC. Keep in mind that this is an emulator, so it’s not exactly the same as running Android on your PC. It will use some hardware acceleration to speed up performance and is limited to a version of Android that’s compatible with 64-bit Windows 11. The Windows Subsystem for Android doesn’t have any limitations to what you can do with it, but it does have some compatibility issues that you should be aware of before installing apps.

Here are some limitations of the Windows Subsystem for Android: You cannot install Android apps that require a camera or microphone unless compatible with Windows Mobile devices. Some banking apps may not work with the Rooted Windows Subsystem as the safety net test is still not passed with magisk.
