    If you currently use Android apps from the Amazon Appstore, then you’ll continue to have access to these past the support cutoff date, but you won’t be able to download any new ones once Microsoft makes its Android subsystem end of life next year. On March 6th (tomorrow), Windows 11 users will no longer be able to search for Amazon Appstore or associated Android apps from the Microsoft Store.

      That doesn’t answer the question. Sure we will be able to use them past the cutoff date but do they have plans to remove the subsystem in the future through an update?

        My prediction is “probably yes”, given the other nonsense they’ve done.

        Though I added it to Win10 via a package from github. Win10 did require to be a certain patch level. I would assume the underlying architecture that’s required won’t go away (Android is an API on Linux after all, and we have WSL too), so we should still be able to use something like this.
