Windows 11 Android apps support is coming much later

The next version of the launch date of the next Windows has been announced. Even though it is not as big as an increase as Windows 10, Microsoft’s surface changes (also intended) are enough to override people’s curiosity. Of course, there are underlying changes too, but at least one main feature advertised Windows 11 will not be available at the time of launch. Microsoft pushes back the ability to run android applications directly on Windows 11 pcs, with the final release slate feature possible in mid 2022.

Of course, there are various ways to run Android applications on Windows 10 today, starting from virtualization technology such as Bluestacks to OEM special integration like those from Samsung. They, of course, all indirect methods need more than just an additional layer between Windows and Android. Microsoft promises the experience that seems original, but the initial Windows 11 adoption will not be able to experience it immediately.

In the announcement of the launch date for Windows 11, Microsoft casually mentioned that the integration of Android applications will “start preview for Windows in the coming months.” Given the normal time period for testing features, which will definitely not arrive on time for large October 5. At the beginning it will occur in 2022, it may be mid-2022, in time for the general launch of Windows 11 for all users who qualify.

Microsoft does not provide an explanation of delays, but it is not difficult to imagine carrying out some technical problems that need to be completed along with Amazon and Intel. Running the “Direct” Android application on Windows 11 will still require several layers of software that can affect performance. There is also a consideration that Amazon implementation will not have direct access to the application and Google Play Store service, which can affect the application functionality that relies on it.

Postponement is possible for the best because most Windows PCs will not get upgrading Windows 11 immediately. That the October 5 launch date only marks the start of the launch that is measured and measured, so the majority of users still have to wait next year to get their turn. At that time, Microsoft, Amazon, and Intel hopefully will iron kinks to provide Android on the Windows experience that Google and Samsung will be jealous.
