How to install android apps on the computer by downloading apk files form internet in window 11?

I had the same issue before, and it usually happens when the APK file doesn’t match the version or architecture supported by Windows Subsystem for Android. Make sure WSA is fully updated from the Microsoft Store. Also, check if the APK is ARM64 or x86_64 — some apps made for ARM phones won’t install properly on Windows 11.

Before using the install command, open CMD in your platform-tools folder and run adb devices to confirm your device is connected. If the connection is active but the error still appears, use a simple installer tool like WSA Pacman. It handles APK installations automatically without needing multiple ADB commands.

This method usually works for fixing the adb install error on Windows 11.
