Can I use Alexa on Windows 11?
Is it possible for me to download and properly used Alexa on a windows 11 computer? If yes, is it advisable and how do i go about it?
The Alex app was removal in March 2023. It might be tied to the broader changes in digital assistant technologies, especially with the interplay between Alexa and Cortana on Windows computers. Given that the Alexa app's functionality on Windows relied on Cortana's support, Microsoft's decision to phase out Cortana likely influenced the discontinuation of the Alexa app. It's understandable that this development might be disappointing, especially for users who had integrated the Alexa app into their daily routines and workflows on their Windows devices. The reliance on cached links to access the app further emphasizes its withdrawal and the impact of evolving technology landscapes on software availability and support.
Thank you for taking the time to explain that. I'll stop trying to get it to work. I have to admit to some disapointment in Win 11, there are some improvements for me as a user but to be honest more drawbacks that have emerged since I installed it.
