    Good afternoon, has anyone by any chance analyzed the Bluestacks software in depth?
    The installer occupies just under 1MB, so i understand that most of it will be downloaded during its installation.
    Has anyone checked if it additionally installs adware or user data collection? Thanks.

    its one of the recommended subsystems. Microsoft is going to stop its own subsystem WSA (since win10) because amazon closed store for it. anyhow it has several gb and its also recommended to create backups before such heavy installations.
    current ist bluestacks 10, but the latest full v5 (Nougat, Pie, Android 11) and offline setup is put here:
    https://support.bluestacks.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402611273485-BlueStacks-5-offline-installer

    from the online installer it's logs, for offline:
    Code:
    https://ak-build.bluestacks.com/public/app-player/windows/bsx/nxt/10.30.0.1008/18532b1d17034e6ca0dd9602958e5f13/BSX-Setup_10.30.0.1008.exe
    160mb

    the "full v5" has 2.3gb, the online v10 has only 160mb, i think the "full" is filled with apps
    v10 need hyper-v, so older cpu are denied, those need v5.

    It seems that regardless of the version you download, its safe and malware-free software.
    Thanks for your answer.

    content from "BlueStacksFullInstaller_5.21.0.1043_amd64_native.exe" (link above)
    i never used it, but i may that you need to load the others seperately if needed.

    I think the only difference between version 5 and 10 is the cloud and little else, right?
