You’ll also be able to use a hover taskbar from now on.
- The Windows Subsystem for Android just a lot some updates.
- You are now able to access OneDrive folders on your Android properly.
- Update it now to experience the new features.
Microsoft released a lot of new updates for Windows 11 this week. Build 23506 for the Dev Channel brought a lot of new features, such as Local File Sharing Improvements, Post-OOBE Experiences, and Auto Color Management (ACM) Expansion.
But one improvement, in particular, is very important. You’ll be able to greatly improve the battery life of your Windows 11 devices. The build is ready to download if you want to take your time before experiencing the new features.
Windows 11 got another update for Windows Subsystem for Android, and this little patch brings an important fix: you can now see OneDrive folders on your Android device. There was an error where you couldn’t see the OneDrive folders on your Android phone, but now once you update WSA, you should be able to see them.
This is important, considering OneDrive is a place where you can store your files very easily, especially the ones from your phones. So, Microsoft eased the way you can access your files now.
Here’s the complete list of changes and improvements coming to the Windows Subsystem for Android
- Camera compatibility improvements.
- Fullscreen mode with F11 now displays a hover taskbar to improve the mouse and touch experience.
- Local networking (under Advanced settings – Experimental features) now replaces “Advanced networking”. Android apps can connect to devices on the same network, on all versions of Windows 11, respect Windows firewall rules, and work with VPNs.
- Share user folders (under Advanced settings – Experimental features) now gives users the option to change their default shared folder.
- The subsystem will now prompt if an app is trying to use permission that the subsystem does not have.
- The subsystem has switched from EROFS to EXT4 for read-only disks.
- Fix for OneDrive folders not showing up in Android apps.
- Support for drag and drop for more file types.
- Improvements to picture-in-picture (new UI buttons when in PIP).
- Partially running mode is now enabled by default for devices with at least 16 GB of memory.
- Stability fixes for Arm devices.
- Linux kernel updated to 5.15.104.
- Android 13 security updates.
