Windows Subsystem for Android was the official way and Microsoft shut it down in March 2025, so that's out. If it's games, Google Play Games for PC runs a decent chunk of Android games natively. For anything else it's an emulator of some kind, the Android Studio emulator is free and has no ads but it's heavy on RAM.
