Set Default GPU for Android Apps on Windows 11

This article describes the steps to set the default GPU for Android apps when using Windows Subsystem for Android in Windows 11.

 Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) creates a virtual machine that provides the environment to install and run Android applications as natively installed on Windows.

If your computer has only one GPU, it will be used for Android apps with WSA. When multiple graphics cards are available on your computer, you can choose which GPU Android apps should be used with Windows Subsystem for Android.

Choosing a more advanced graphics card may improve the performance of your Android apps on Windows 11.
