About this tag
Session continuity in Windows 11 refers to features that let users resume tasks across devices or after interruptions. Recent updates include an Android-to-PC handoff for Spotify, allowing a song or podcast started on a phone to continue on a desktop with one click, and File Explorer remembering where you left off after a restart or session break.
