Microsoft deprecated the Android Sub-System in Windows 11 on March 5th 2025, that is now no longer an option in Windows 11, if you want to use Android apps in Windows now, you will need to use a 3rd party Android Emulator.
I have a question about Windows11. Is there an Android for Windows Subsystem available in Australia for Windows 11? If not is there going to be?

Hi there,
I am into astrophotography. Some programs run with Windows and some do not but run on Android. I am wondering if Windows 11 has an Android for Windows Subsystem available or if not is there going to be for Australia? I am lead to believe there is one in use in the USA.
Thank you.
