Great news for Windows 11 users! Microsoft has just rolled out a new update (2303.40000.3.0) for the Windows Subsystem for Android™ (WSA) across all Windows Insider channels. This update brings several exciting improvements that enhance reliability, security, and introduce the highly anticipated picture-in-picture (PIP) feature.



Key Updates and Features



1. Picture-in-Picture Mode

The new update enables the picture-in-picture (PIP) mode for Android apps that support this feature. This means you can now enjoy multitasking within Android apps on Windows 11 with greater ease. Thanks to Windows' windowed mode and its powerful resize and snap functionalities, you can seamlessly integrate Android app usage into your workflow.

A new setting called “Partially running” has been added to the WSA Settings app. This setting allows the subsystem to run with minimal resources, ensuring quicker app launches compared to the “As needed” mode. This strikes a balance between performance and resource management, tailored for everyday use.



3. Updated Linux Kernel

The Linux kernel has been updated to version 5.15.78. This update brings enhanced stability, security, and performance improvements to the subsystem, ensuring a smoother Android experience on Windows 11.



4. Platform Reliability Improvements

The update includes various improvements to platform reliability, reducing crashes and unexpected behavior, thus enhancing the overall user experience.



5. Android 13 Security Updates
