Update to Windows Subsystem for Android™ on Windows 11 for Windows Insiders

[TWF Bot]

Hello Windows Insiders, Today we are shipping an update for Windows Subsystem for Android™ on Windows 11 for Windows Insiders (all channels). This update includes several exciting new features and improvements, including some major changes to video playback, Windows integration, and security updates.

What’s New​

H.264 Video Hardware Decoding​

This update allows Windows Subsystem for Android™ to take advantage of hardware accelerated H.264 decoding. This should enable a better experience on several apps in the current app catalog that take advantage of high-definition video playback.

Networking Changes​

With this update comes networking changes in the platform to enable future improvements. To help us improve networking features in Windows Subsystem for Android™, we encourage Insiders to file feedback for any network issues encountered in supported apps.

Mail Integration​

We’ve made improvements to Windows integration with Windows Subsystem for Android™! In this update, the integration between Windows email clients and mobile apps has been improved. Apps that take advantage of launching a mail client or message should benefit from this change immediately.

MSAA (Multisample anti-aliasing) Changes​

While MSAA is a useful feature for several game apps, users were reporting that 4X MSAA could not be disabled. We were previously force-enabling anti-aliasing, which has now been fixed.

Improvements to Input​

We’ve made improvements to general input in Windows Subsystem for Android™, including improved scrolling in the Amazon Appstore and Kindle apps.

Known Issues​

• Video playback in some apps may be choppy on certain systems.
• Coming out of connected standby, apps may be restarted.

If you are having issues with Windows Subsystem for Android™ – please file feedback via Feedback Hub under Apps > Windows Subsystem for Android™.

This whole thing about Windows running Android is kind of weird. It's not like you haven't been able to do this for years. I am wondering how Microsoft will manage to muck up Android software thru a Windows mediated exploit. It's coming, don't kind yourself.
