    I hope they respin this somehow when windows on arm gains more traction. Maybe similar to how newer macs allow iphone apps to run on them. Kind of native-sandboxed apps; one can dream.

    So it seems like this feature was not maximizing share price.

    The only reason for me (other than the support issue) to migrate to Windows 11 was the Android integration.

    Unfortunately MS dropped the support. My question is: Can you run apks under Windows 11 LTSC 2024?

    Earlier this year, I installed some Blink wireless outdoor cameras (recommended by the way). Their software only runs on Android, so I tried to use WSA. I wasted about an hour of my life in an unsuccessful effort, gave up, and tried Bluestacks. 5 minutes later, I was up and running the Blink app under Windows 11. YMMV
