    Is there a way to bypass the requirements for the Windows Subsystem for Android?

    Unfortunately to run WSA need really powerful hardware. I don't know it is only me but on my laptop it uses about 80% CPU.
     
  3. Really? Maybe theres something not right in ur laptop, my old laptop can run WSA smoothly, i play android games like subway surfer and angry birds :) its better to play android games on my old laptop.. than in my old phone :(

    It needs 8GB of RAM just to start.

    I'm used to run a baremetal server and 3/4 VMs in the same 8GB of ram.

    It's like using a caterpillar truck just to transport a cartoon of eggs.
     
  5. What?? 8 GB? But it runs smoothly in my old laptop, and my ram is only 4GB... dunno how it can run :kick:

    How can i access the Android Filesystem from Windows (like Windows Explorer). WSL gives the ability but Android Subsystem not yet as i can see.

    No, since all 1904x builds share the same hotfix release.

    The only difference between them are transitional enablement packages. LTSC 2021, despite being based on build 19044, can't take the 19045 aka 22H2 enablement package.
