## FAQ
**Q:** WSA PacMan is always showing the Offline status, why is that?
**A:** First things first make sure WSA is installed (duh); Open the 'Windows Subsystem for Android™ Settings' app, in the Developer tab and make sure the 'Developer mode' switch is enabled; inside manage developer settings, make sure the 'USB debugging' option is enabled.
Should all of the above fail, [try following this procedure](https://github.com/alesimula/wsa_pacman/issues/99#issuecomment-1288141314); make sure to check the 'always allow' option.
##
**Q:** Can I use WSA PacMan on older versions of Windows (eg. Windows 10)?
**A:** WSA PacMan depends on Windows Subsystem for Linux, which is only ***officially*** supported on Windows 11.
However, you may be able to install WSA on Windows 10 [using this project](https://github.com/JimDude7404/WSA-Windows-10) by JimDude7404 and following the step-by-step guide on the GitHub page.
##
**Q:** Can i install the Play Store?
**A:** The play store is not _officially_ supported on WSA, and at the moment it is only possible to install it using an unofficial WSA build. I recommend installing the [Aurora Store](https://auroraoss.com/) instead, which is an unofficial Play Store client; but if you really want the Play Store and other Google apps, [check out this project](https://github.com/LSPosed/MagiskOnWSALocal).
