After posting the above I attempted to open Andy and it failed
(said to reinstall) Like a fool I tried.
I notice there was a newer version on their site so I attempted it figuring it would be a faster install.
It wasn't, and it failed to fix anything.
I have always used BlueStacks in the pass as it was always performed well. The reason I never used it for the Willie app as it didn't recognize my desktop camera. I noticed on the site they also had a newer version (3) which I attempted to install on my laptop.
this downloaded and installed so quickly I thought it was corrupt but it was ok.
Start up is still a bit slow but faster then Andy.
I installed the App from a AKP I had on my laptop rather then going to the app store so I'm not sure how that will work.
Scanning the QR code was so much faster then Andy and it put a short cut to the Wi-Fi app on the windows desktop.
Clicking the shortcut auto starts BlueStacks and loads the Wi-Fi app which should make loading on start up a breeze.
If you have issues with an emulator, dump it and load
BlueStacks
