Microsoft to Shut Down Android App Support in Windows 11 Due to Lack of Adoption
- Windows Subsystem for Android allowed Windows 11 to run Android apps, but was underused
- Lack of app downloads/revenue couldn't sustain the dedicated support staff for the feature
- Microsoft wanted Google to bring apps to Windows, but that didn't happen
- Without being financially sustainable, Microsoft is shutting the Android subsystem down in 2025
- The functionality was useful, but not profitable enough for Microsoft to continue supporting
