Also, although Microsoft does not officially support it, we also know that Windows 11 can install Android apps by so-called sideloading, which installs apps from other than the official store. In addition, Google has indicated its intention to develop an emulator that can play game apps for Android on Windows, so it is expected that a wide range of Android apps will be available on Windows 11.

Regarding the usability of Android apps on Windows 11, Microsoft previously said, 'Android apps and games used on Windows 11 are familiar and easy to use, and the new snap layout function gives you the feeling of unity you expect. You can run these apps side by side, pin them to the start menu or task bar, and easily operate them with your mouse, touch, or pen. '
At the same time, the taskbar will be improved and the Notepad and Media Player apps will be redesigned. The taskbar improvements are expected to include the ability to mute and unmute, as well as the ability to display the clock on the secondary monitor.
