    Makes sense. I loved using the feature, but it was a convoluted way of setting it all up.

    This was probably the only reason to install Windows 11 over 10 for me until the security updates are no longer supported. WSA is survived by Genymotion, BlueStacks, the Google Play Beta, and any other way you could run apks on Windows.
