{{See also|Project Astoria|Windows Subsystem for Linux}}
Windows 11 allows users to install and run [[Android (operating system)#Applications|Android apps]] on their devices using the new Windows Subsystem for [[Android (operating system)|Android]] (WSA) and the [[Android Open Source Project]] (AOSP). This runs with [[Intel]] Bridge Technology, a [[Just-in-time compilation|runtime post-compiler]] that enables apps written for other [[Computer architecture|architectures]] to run on [[x86]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Intel's Bridge technology will allow Android apps to run natively on Windows 11|url=https://www.engadget.com/intel-bridge-windows-11-android-apps-181527847.html|access-date=June 29, 2021|website=Engadget|date=June 24, 2021 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Intel Core Processors and Intel Bridge Technology Unleash Windows 11...|url=https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/intel-tech-unleashes-windows-experience.html|access-date=June 29, 2021|website=Intel|language=en}}</ref> These apps can be obtained from the [[Microsoft Store]] via the [[Amazon Appstore]],<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|title=Amazon and Microsoft create new opportunities for developers and increase return on investment in the Amazon Appstore : Appstore Blogs|url=https://developer.amazon.com/blogs/appstore/post/a7583854-9367-4480-99c4-15f91456558c/amazon-and-microsoft-create-new-opportunities-for-developers-and-increase-return-on-investment-in-the-amazon-appstore|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210624155916/https://developer.amazon.com/blogs/appstore/post/a7583854-9367-4480-99c4-15f91456558c/amazon-and-microsoft-create-new-opportunities-for-developers-and-increase-return-on-investment-in-the-amazon-appstore|archive-date=June 24, 2021|access-date=June 24, 2021|website=developer.amazon.com}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|last=Haselton|first=Jordan Novet, Kif Leswing, Todd|date=June 24, 2021|title=Microsoft Windows 11 will support Android apps|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/24/microsoft-windows-11-event-live-updates.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210624143625/https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/24/microsoft-windows-11-event-live-updates.html|archive-date=June 24, 2021|access-date=June 24, 2021|website=CNBC}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web|last=Warren|first=Tom|date=June 24, 2021|title=Microsoft is bringing Android apps to Windows 11 with Amazon's Appstore|url=https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/24/22548428/microsoft-windows-11-android-apps-support-amazon-store|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210624153856/https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/24/22548428/microsoft-windows-11-android-apps-support-amazon-store|archive-date=June 24, 2021|access-date=June 24, 2021|website=The Verge}}</ref><ref name="Gartenberg2021">{{Cite web|last=Gartenberg|first=Chaim|date=June 24, 2021|title=Windows 11's Intel-powered Android apps will run on AMD and Arm processors, too|url=https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/24/22549303/windows-11-intel-bridge-android-apps-amd-arm-processors|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210624204301/https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/24/22549303/windows-11-intel-bridge-android-apps-amd-arm-processors|archive-date=June 24, 2021|access-date=June 24, 2021|website=The Verge}}</ref> or through other sources.<ref name=":7">{{Cite web|date=June 25, 2021|title=Windows 11 will support Android apps from outside the Amazon Appstore|url=https://www.xda-developers.com/windows-11-support-installing-android-apps-amazon-appstore/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210626000916/https://www.xda-developers.com/windows-11-support-installing-android-apps-amazon-appstore/|archive-date=June 26, 2021|access-date=June 26, 2021|website=xda-developers}}</ref>
On March 5, 2024, Microsoft announced the termination of this feature in the updated support document of WSA: "As a result, the Amazon Appstore on Windows and all applications and games dependent on WSA will no longer be supported beginning March 5, 2025. Until then, technical support will remain available to customers".<ref>{{Cite web |last=mattwojo |date=2024-03-05 |title=Windows Subsystem for Android™️ |url=https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/android/wsa/ |access-date=2024-05-16 |website=learn.microsoft.com |language=en-us}}</ref>
