Step #1. Enable App Developer mode and Install WSL
You may have heard of the developer mode, beta, or the released edition of an open system, specifically with the windows editions. However, there is also an option that is specific to the application and that is the developer mode. By default in Windows 11, it is turned off. If you want to install the Google Play Store on windows 11, you need to enable the App developer mode. Click on the images to zoom. After you enabled the developer mode for the apps, the next step is to install the windows subsystem for Linux on Windows 11.

Step #2. Install Android Subsystem for Linux & configure the Settings
To install the Android subsystem for Linux in windows 11, you need to download the following files. After downloading the files, make sure to extract them anywhere that you want, but remember at least 2 GB of storage is required for the Android subsystem for Linux. After the extraction of the WSA Package, copy the downloaded Kernal and go to the WSA Package directory> Tools and paste it. This way you will replace the pre-existed kernel. It is time to install the Android subsystem for Linux, to install it run PowerShell as administrator. Then copy the path of the WSA Package directory that was just extracted a moment ago, in the PowerShell type CD and then paste the path that you just copy it and then press enter. In case you don’t know how to get the path, right-click on the WSA Package directory and choose copy as a Path, then paste in the PowerShell. Now you have to paste the following command in the Powershell, and press enter. After executing the command, the Android subsystem for Linux will appear on the Start menu, click on it to configure the settings.

In the cmd type the following commands. In the below screenshot, if see, I have used another IP, in fact, it is the IP address of the Android subsystem for Linux. If you open it, under the developer mode you will see it. Still, if you type the following IP Address, it will also fix the issue. The rest is easy, click on the sign-in, enter your email, password and you are on the google play store.
