Pretty sure you're thinking about a completely different feature that's tied to the Your Phone app. This is about running Android apps natively on Windows.

I know exactly what it is. I was able to “sort of” run a couple Android apps, but it never took advantage of the fact that my laptop has a touchscreen, even when in “tablet mode” and the second time I attempted to use it, I needed to verify on the Android phone again. I’ve had better success with the likes of Bluestacks or Memu.

Like I said, though, the vast majority of apps are useless anyway and a Windows-based alternative usually exists that performs better.

What do you mean verify on the Android phone? I had 0 instances of that when I was using it.
