    Hi! Marc here,

    Thanks for reaching out. You're right! on the newer Copilot+ PCs, especially the 12-inch models running on ARM architecture, Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) isn't supported out of the box like it was on older x64 devices.

    Microsoft hasn't officially added WSA support for Copilot+ PCs yet. These devices are running Windows on ARM, and the WSA package from the Microsoft Store or Amazon Appstore is currently x64-specific.

    That’s likely why:

    • You're not seeing WSA under the WindowsApps folder.

    • The XDA workaround fails — it was built for x86/x64 architecture and not ARM64.

    There are experimental workarounds being discussed in the developer community, but none are officially supported by Microsoft. If WSA functionality is essential, you may consider monitoring future updates or providing feedback through the Windows Feedback Hub.

    Best regards.
