Where did you get this information from? Source?
I think that this might actually be the case with what I have seen so far and this does indeed matchup with the issues faced by people.
Thank you for bringing this information to light.

Tried the newest Windows Subsystem For Android 2407.40000.0.0 for Windows 11 x64 ,It's works. Thanks

Completely shutdown WSA, set computer time to June 2, 2025

You are right. The ARM translation layer stops working when the date is set. I guess that they did indeed place a time bomb in software.

[AnkiYuan]

So still need to wait the last ver?

This is pretty big news, I don't see it reported anywhere else. I guess there is no good way round this unless there is a decent build without the timebomb?

[FocusBlast]

Hey! Could there be an old build without this timebomb and we could still use it until Google pulls support for that specific Android version? I really don't want WSA to go away ;___;

100% possible. We will have to see.

As a counterpoint, I just did this. Rebooted my system several times to confirm. WSA still works. @MustardChef, you may want to verify this. Maybe this was legitimate at one point. Who knows? Maybe Microsoft removed the time bomb in a rare act of mercy? That, or the report was erroneous.

After the timebomb, WSA will still start up and run a lot of apps, there is a large number of apps that will stop running though. Try running youtube in chrome, or starting up the Shazam app

youtube in chrome

Now this makes sense.

First though. Outside of this as an academic example, why would I even want to run YouTube in Chrome in WSA? I would expend unnecessary CPU cycles compared to running Edge natively in Windows.

I am trying to reproduce your issue and cannot. Here is why. You and others are misidentifying an issue. Even Windows programs, even a simple web browser, will stop working correctly without a proper local time on the system clock. Valid system clock time is required for Internet activity (HTTPS needs it, for example, for establishing the validity of an SSL/TLS certificate) and the two apps you mentioned need web connectivity to work. If I set the time on an Android tablet ahead by several months, it also fails to connect to the Internet. Here is an example below of what happens in any browser in Windows if I have the machine's local time incorrect.

This is false. What you may have encountered was an SSL/TLS certificate being misinterpreted as expired on an app that was reading from a website. I have run numerous apps and not experienced this on any of them except for those that absolutely require Internet connectivity to function. Modern web-based apps need accurate system time or they will reject their Internet connection as invalid/unsafe.

Youtube in Chrome was the OP's experience (I quoted that as they didn't give any other specific apps). From some experiments some users did in the discord server, changing the date before June didn't break anything, changing it after did. I haven't tried this myself but enough users did to convince me. Hopefully they're wrong and you're right ;) we shall have to wait and see.
