Update to Windows Subsystem for Android™ on Windows 11 (April 2023)

[TWF Bot]

Today we are shipping an update (2303.40000.3.0) for Windows Subsystem for Android™ on Windows 11 to all Windows Insider channels. This update will improve reliability, security and enable picture-in-picture (PIP).

Picture-in-picture​

For apps that use the Android PIP feature, the subsystem now supports this behavior. With the flexibility of having apps in windowed mode and all of the great Windows resize and snap features, this makes multitasking within Android apps even easier.

What's New​

• Picture-in-picture mode supported
• A new "Partially running" system setting added to WSA Settings app, which runs the subsystem with minimal resources but apps launch quicker than "As needed" mode
• Linux kernel updated to 5.15.78
• Improvements to platform reliability
• Android 13 security updates
