Microsoft has just released the July 2022 update for Windows 11. Via this patch, the manufacturer is taking the opportunity to integrate many improvements for the Windows subsystem for Android. We take stock together.
As you know, Windows 11 offers Android app integration. The feature should arrive in France by the end of 2022 in France and other European countries, while it is already available in the United States. Via the May 2022 update, Microsoft has already significantly improved this compatibility with the Google OS, in particular by integrating the standby mode for Android apps, or even a taskbar dedicated to apps.
Microsoft continued its efforts with the July 2022 update dedicated to Windows 11. Indeed, this patch brings the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) to version 2205.40000.14.0. Thus, WAS now benefits fromadvanced network support that allows applications to access local devices for ARM hardware.
Windows 11 further improves Android support
Additionally, Microsoft is also adding support for two new features: IPV6 and VPN connectivity. WSA’s Settings app also gets some notable improvements with this update. Here is the full changelog of WSA July 2022 Update for Windows 11:
- Microsoft has enabled the Advanced Networking feature. This allows an Android app to access local network devices for ARM
