I have messed up something on my computer regarding opening .apk files. I am trying to download Stremio; however, Word is trying to open it. I believe I mistakenly tried to download a file and chose to always open it with Word. Now, I can’t open the file. Can anyone assist me with changing this so I can open the .apk file?

What OS is the computer? Now just to be sure, you said open the APK. Are you sure that is what you want? Are you wanting to modify the code in an APK? Or do you simply want to run the Android Package Kit to install an APP?
Windows11 pro. I am trying yo download it from the troypoint toolbox. I can not open that file type.

Yes, Windows 11 can run APK files using the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA). WSA creates a virtual Android environment on your Windows PC, allowing you to install and run APKs.
Here’s how to do it:
Install Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA): Download and install WSA from the Microsoft Store.
Download the APK: Obtain the APK file of the Android app you want to install.
Open WSA: Start the Windows Subsystem for Android application.
Install the APK:
Using the command line: Enable developer mode in WSA, then use the adb install [path_to_apk] command to install the APK.
Using the UI: In WSA, you can often browse and install APK files directly from the interface.
Run the app: Once installed, you can launch the Android app from WSA.
