Microsoft has announced that it will no longer maintain support for Android apps on Windows 11, including access to the Amazon Appstore. Existing users will still have access to their installed apps until March 5, 2025, but new users will no longer be able to download the Amazon Appstore from the Microsoft Store. While this may limit the ability to run Android apps on Windows 11, there are third-party alternatives available. Microsoft remains committed to bridging the gap between Android and Windows devices through other features and apps.
