Essential settings to configure on Windows Subsystem for Android on Windows 11

WSA settings

The Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) is a virtualization solution that, in combination with the Amazon Appstore, allows you to run Android apps on Windows 11.

Although the default configuration of the WSA environment should be enough for most users, it's possible to change some of the settings to get the most out of the experience. For instance, you can enable file-sharing to access your files from Android apps. It's also possible to control how much memory the subsystem uses, choose the graphics card, enable anti-malware scanning, and you can even change the behavior to make the subsystem always available for quick access to your apps.
