If you’re outside the United States, you can still use Windows 11’s underlying Android subsystem engine which is maintained via the Microsoft Store to sideload and run mobile apps on the desktop.

As part of the new version, Microsoft is updating the underlying engine to Android 12.1.

In the new Windows Subsystem for Android, Microsoft has disabled the telemetry collection by default.

This option can be found as an “optional diagnostic data” toggle in the Windows Subsystem for the Android Settings app and users can enable it to voluntarily provide useful telemetry about app usage.

Microsoft redesigned the app that lets you manage the settings of the Android Subsystem.
