How to install the Google Play Store on Windows 11

By using the Windows Subsystem for Android, you can run orginal Android applications on Windows 11. (WSA). This choice, though, has limitations. The Amazon Appstore, not the Google Play Store, is supported by the new operating system. Additionally, while sideloading Android apps is a possibility, anything that depends on the Google Play Service won't function. However, you can work around this restriction by installing the Google Play Store on Windows 11. This is how you do it.

How to install Google Play Store on Windows 11 (new method)

As previously mentioned, Windows 11 supports sideloading and running Android applications. Finding APK files and installing them via Command Prompt are challenging, though. To install Android applications, ADB must also be configured. To solve that problem, install the fully working Google Play Store. You can also use this to launch programs that rely on Google Play Service. AdeltaX Internal, which offers this technique, has posted a YouTube video describing how to use it (details are available later in the article). The procedure is challenging, requiring the downloading and shifting of several little items. Fortunately, a developer (Yujinchang08) on GitHub has created a unique WSA installer to make this process simpler. The WSA installer includes a modified WSA package with Magisk and Open GApps integration. Magisk is a root access utility, while Open GApps provides up-to-date Google Apps packages. Please be aware that this procedure carries a risk and necessitates the installation of changed third-party packages and files. Make a recovery drive or a restore point in Windows 11 before continuing on. If something goes wrong, these recovery solutions can assist you in undoing modifications or fixing the system.

Step 1: Uninstall Windows Subsystem for Android

You need to configure the Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform to run Windows Subsystem for Android on Windows 11. Skip this step if you have installed WSA before. To configure the VM: 1. Press Win + S to open the search bar. 2. Type Windows Features, and then click Turn Windows features on or off from the search results. 3. In the Windows Features window, select Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform. 4. Click OK to save the changes, and Windows will install the selected features. Restart the PC to apply the changes. If the update is successful, you'll see an update status message during the reboot.

Step 4: Download the Windows Subsystem for Android package

When you're signed in, Google Play Services can perform regular contact syncing and more. From the Google Play Store, Android apps can now be installed on Windows 11. Due to regional and licensing limitations, certain apps may still not work properly.

Install Google Play Store on Windows 11 (ADeltaX method)

Recently, Microsoft allowed a small number of users to test Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) on Windows 11. At the beginning, users participating in the test will only be able to access about 50 applications via the Amazon Appstore. Although WSA allows users to install applications using APK files, applications using Google services will not be able to work due to the lack of Google Play Services. Naturally, WSA is also blocked from accessing the Google Play Store. But on Windows, almost anything can be hacked. A developer with the moniker AdeltaX has found a way to install both Google Play Services and the Google Play Store on Windows 11.

The files needed for the installation and instructions have been shared by AdeltaX on GitHub but it seems that only experts can read and follow. You can access AdeltaX's instructions here:
  • Instructions to install the Google Play Store on Windows 11
Detailed instructions are as follows:
  • Download MSIXBUNDLE (from the rg-adguard store, bundle id: 9P3395VX91NR).

You can see that the instructions in AdeltaX are not very clear. You should not follow this without other knowledge of computers and operating systems. AdeltaX promises that in the near future he will rewrite the tutorial to make it easier to understand and implement. You can see AdeltaX's process of bringing the Google Play Store to Windows 11 in the video below:
