Problems with the Android Subsystem

Hello everyone in the forum,



I'm having a little problem.



After I set the region to US, I didn't find "Amazon Marketplace" in the Microsoft store, and there was no way to install the Android subsystem with the help of this software.



It still doesn't work after I've tried switching regions several times, but this is normal on my other two computers. I've created a virtual machine and can't find it in the virtual machine either.



I saw a similar thread on the forum, but it didn't seem to fix it.



But my problem is different, I tried many times and gave up, but one day I suddenly found that there is no amazon store in my computer, but the android subsystem appeared in my computer out of thin air.



This surprised me. I tried to use the subsystem, turned on the developer mode, and installed the APK installer and WSAtools in the Microsoft Store. These two applications did not allow me to install my Android software smoothly. They upgrade I need to open the android subsystem, but the subsystem is already running and developer mode is turned on for them to use ADB to connect to the subsystem.



Why does this happen? Obviously the subsystem is already running. Am I missing some setting?
