Windows 11 is not only the latest version of the well-known Microsoft system, but rather aspires to a kind of universal solution for operating systems through the still unfinished ones Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) and the well-established Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Microsoft’s strategy of closer ties with Android and Linux makes sense for two reasons: keeping developers on Windows and embracing two systems that are open source in their core implementations so they can be forked based on free software principles. , modify, redistribute and , in the case of Android, closed at the code level (Apache 2 license).

Such is the determination of the Redmond giant that it has started rolling out a major WSA update for Windows 11. The new version of the Android subsystem includes for ARM hardware, advanced networking features for applications to access devices present on a local networkto which is added support for IPv6 and VPN.

Continuing with more news of version 2205.40000.14.0 WSA, we have an update to Chromium WebView 101; support for putting applications into standby mode, the ability to not be able to take a screenshot of a window marked as safeupdating the virtual machine’s IP to be the same as the one used by the host system, fixing graphics and video playback errors, as well as improvements for playing AV1-rendered videos through applications.

As we already said, WSA 2205.40000.14.0 has already started to roll out, more precisely for users of the public preview version (public preview) of Windows 11 due to the fact that it is still a technology in development. We remind you that the subsystem runs Android applications that are present in the Amazon Appstore.
