Power Up Your Device Instantly: Mastering Win 11’S Double-Clicked APK Method
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 ![screenshot of the wsa quickinstall files](/images/loading.svg)
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.

Setting up WSA-QuickInstall is easy. Once extracted, you’ll have two files and a folder. Keep them all together, but pay attention toinstall.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?
