How to Install Android APKs With a Double-Click in Windows 11

You've set up the Windows Subsystem for Android, and you're ready to start installing those APK files. Turns out, it's a bit of a process. Wouldn't it be better if we could just double-click those APK files?

Let's have a look at how to set it so that it works exactly like that.

How to Download WSA-QuickInstall
WSA-QuickInstall is what we'll use to achieve a more seamless APK install process. This simple app is found on the WSA-QuickInstall GitHub page. All you need to do is extract it somewhere you'll remember, and you're ready to move on.

WSA-QuickInstall can be falsely identified as a threat by Windows Defender. You may need to add an exception to Windows Defender in order to use the app.

How to Set Up WSA-QuickInstall
Setting up WSA-QuickInstall is easy. Once extracted, you'll have two files and a folder. Keep them all together, but pay attention to install.exe, as this will be the executable that we use to actually sideload and install the apps.

To make sure WSA-QuickInstall is working correctly, drag any APK file you have onto install.exe.

A command prompt window may appear for a time, and then your system will install the app.

That's all good and well, but how do we enable the seamless double-click install functionality?

How to Set Up the Default Program for APK Files
First, make sure you have an APK file handy to install. Then, follow these steps:

Right-click on your APK file and click properties
In the properties window, click Change located next to the Opens with: section
In the next window, hit More apps
Then scroll to the bottom and click Look for another app on this PC
Navigate to where you extracted the files and click install.exe
It's as easy as that. Now, whenever you double-click on an APK file, Windows will automatically install it for you, hassle-free.

Make Installing APK Files Easier
While the Windows Subsystem for Android is an excellent and welcomed feature for Windows 11, a lot of users wish it was a little easier to use.

Hopefully, now it is. Have fun adding Android apps to your system with half the hassle involved.
