The tech behemoth has announced the availability of an upgrade for the Windows Subsystem for Android with version 2206.40000.15.0 in a blog post. All Windows Insider channels can currently download the upgrade, but only in the US. It has "many new modifications," according to Microsoft, including fixes for input compatibility in programmes like games, networking and windowing enhancements, and reliability updates.
The Windows Subsystem for Android settings app now has a new set of shims (libraries used to transparently intercept application programming interfaces, or APIs), which Microsoft claims will improve the usability of a number of apps. Additionally, it is adding support for games that use joysticks that are mapped to the WASD keys.
Additionally, Windows 11's new Windows Subsystem for Android provides better networking and scrolling. Additionally, Microsoft has set the minimum window size as default to 220dp. The update also includes security upgrades, stability changes across the board, a new toggle to display and preserve diagnostic data, an improved popup when an unsupported VPN is discovered, and visual enhancements. Enhancements to diagnostic sizes are also part of the overall reliability fixes.
