When Windows 11 is released in the fall of 2021, the firm has promised that Android applications will be natively supported in the same way that desktop programs are. Because it is derived from the Windows Subsystem for Linux, which is included in Windows 10, the Windows Subsystem for Android is able to provide this support through the use of virtual machines (or emulators). 

Microsoft has been collaborating with Intel and Amazon on the integration of their Bridge Technology and Appstore in order to improve the performance of Android-based applications. The Windows Subsystem for Android-based devices has just shown off amazing Geekbench results, suggesting what we might expect in terms of performance in the future.

With single-core scores ranging between 107 and 828 and multi-core scores ranging between 439 and 4908, some listings suggest that the Geekbench 5's performance on the high end could be much superior to that of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888. Consequently, because we are unable to identify the desktop processor used in each benchmark, these results should only be interpreted as a possible range of results.

According to Microsoft's remarks today, support for Android will not be available in Windows 11 at launch, but will be added in a future upgrade to the operating system.
