    Microsoft recently rolled out Windows Subsystem for Android that allows users to run Android apps on Windows 11 PC. As of now, officially users can get apps from Microsoft and Amazon App Store.

    Apart from that, sideloading apps from third-party sources is also possible. You can check out a detailed guide on how to do that.

    When it comes to the Android app, how we can forget Google Play Store, it is the official store for Android apps and hosts a plethora of apps.

    If you’re the one who wants to install Google Play Store so that you can access all services and apps on Windows 11 PC that you use on a phone, tablet, and other devices?

    Fortunately, well-known developer ADeltaX manages to unlock this possibility. Although, the procedure to install Google Play Store is technical and tricky. In this blog post, we have made the procedure super-easy so that anyone can install it.

    How to Install Google Play Store in Windows 11

    If you can’t wait to try Google Play Store on Windows 11 PC, then here’s how you can do that:

    Enable Developers settings in Windows 11. For that, click on the Search icon on the Taskbar and type Developers settings, when it appears in results, click to open it.

    enable developers mode in windows 11

    Here, make sure that the Developer Mode option is ON. If not, turn it ON. When a confirmation dialog box appears, click Yes to continue.

    If you’re already using any version of Windows Subsystem for Android, then Uninstall.

    Next, you need to install the latest version of the Windows Subsystem for Android. Use this link to download.

    extract the package WSA package

    After that, extract the package WSA package to the folder.

    Next, download the kernel file using this link.

    Important step – You need to copy the Kernal file to the Tools folder available insider the WSA package folder. This will replace the default kernel file with one of yours.

    Replace the file in the destination in the fo

    Select “Replace the file in the destination in the folder” when the dialog box appears.

    At this point, you have created a modified WSA folder.

    Run Elevated Windows Powershell in Windows 11. For that, search the Windows Powershell and when it appears in results, click Run as administrator.

    If the UAC dialog box appears, click Yes to continue.

    Copy the WSA Extracted folder location.

    Copy the WSA Extracted folder location.

    In the command prompt window, type cd <WSA extracted folder location>. So the final command will be cd C:\Users\yourusername\Desktop\WsaPackage_1.7.32815.0_x64_Release-Nightly\WsaPackage_1.7.32815.0_x64_Release-Nightly and hit enter.

    Make sure to replace ‘yourusername‘ with one of your devices.

    After that, you need to copy-paste this command: Add-AppxPackage -Register .\AppxManifest.xmland hit enter.

    setup wsa for sideloading android apps in windows 11

    This will start the deployment, wait for a few seconds. Once done, head over to the next step.

    Here, you need to click on the Search icon on Taskbar and type Turn Windows feature ON or OFF, when it appears in results, click to open it.

    Here, check the box for Virtual Machine Platform and Virtual Hypervision platform and then click OK.

    turn on Windows Hypervisor platform in windows 11

    Now reboot your computer.

    google play protect is turned on in windows 11

    Wait for a few seconds, and you will get a notification that Google Protect is working and loading all the components required for proper function. Let them run in the background. Once done, you will get the notification that Google Protect is ON.

    Unable to sign in to Google Play Store in Windows 11 WSA

    Important, if you notice that you’re unable to Sign in to Google Play Store, then try the following workaround:

    Download Android SDK Platform-tools from Google’s website.

    Extract the Android SDK Platform-tools zip file in the folder of your choice.

    I suggest you create folder name ADB inside C: and paste all platform-tools folder containing all the files and folders into it. So its location becomes:c:\ADB\platform-tools

    For a clear idea, check the following screenshot:

    Set up ADB in WIndows 11

    In the Platform-tools folder, type cmd in the address bar and hit enter. This will open Command Prompt window insider Platforms tools folder.

    After that, head over to Windows Subsystem for Android and copy the IP address from there.

    copy ip address in Windows 11 Windows Subsystem app for Android

    Now following commands: adb connect IP address and hit enter.

    Next, type adb shell and hit enter.

    type suand hit enter. This will give the message that you’re now Root.

    At last type this command: setenforce 0and hit enter.
