TL; DR
- Microsoft has announced that it is ending support for the Windows subsystem for Android.

If you have Android apps or games on your Windows 11 device, you better enjoy them while you can. Those apps and games, as well as the Amazon Appstore, will end support in 2025.
Today, Microsoft announced that it is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA). The service will continue to operate until next year, but will shut down on March 5, 2025.
WSA is a service that allows Windows 11 to run Android applications that come from the Amazon Appstore. After the end of support, those apps and the app store will no longer work.
Microsoft assures users that they will continue to have access to their apps and the Amazon Appstore, as well as technical support, until March 5, 2025. After this deprecation date, however, you’ll lose access to any apps that rely on WSA.
