Following up on installing an APK in Windows 11 you might guess that I’ve been working on something on Android and Windows. Why yes, how did I telegraph that? Anyhow I had an issue with one of the video playing Android apps running under Windows 11 that it always had a bar around the top when maximized.

To enter full screen Android app mode in the Windows Subsystem for Android, Windows+shift+F11. No more top bar. Done. Press it again to pop back to windowed mode.

Extremely useful when you’ve got a streaming app that’s amazing on Android and a piece of utter garbage on anything else.

Easy peasy.

Now if I could just get WSA to understand it doesn’t need to worry about my work VPN setup and to stop disabling internet to protect me I’d be happy.
