    USB devices not being noticed in WSA with Android apps.

    When running Android apps in WSA.. (ADB sideloaded APKs) the Android apps dont see things connected to laptos USB ports.

    On both my Surface Book2 and my Porshe Book).. with 2x USB3,0 - 1x TypeC, 1x Thunderbolt3 (USB C) none of the Android apps, seem to take notice of things plugged in, - to fx be used in a given Android app..

    Got no problem inside Windows11pro with these ports, all being noted, its solely in WSA (Android subsystem).

    Thx for any help..

    does anybody else has this problem and how to fix it?

    Tried adjusting some of the "USB standard configuration settings" in WSA developer settings, like "No datatransfer" (was in this from the start), and also other options to choose like: PTP, Datatransfer, Websharing by USB - but no dice.. it made no difference.

    the Android apps while running in WSA does not seem to have acces to my USB ports

    WSA PacMan will not open APK app

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. WSA PacMan will not open APK app :)

    In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

    • Open powershell as administrator
    • Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
    • Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
