Windows 11’s Android Subsystem integration is getting advanced networking support which enables app access to local devices for ARM hardware. This means apps can now take advantage of the functionality. Likewise, Microsoft is also adding support for two new features – IPv6 and VPN connectivity.
These new networking functionalities of the subsystem are available for everyone. Another new addition is improvements to the Settings app. As you’re probably aware, WSA comes with its own dedicated settings panel and Microsoft has made improvements to the Settings panel with today’s update.
Here’s the full changelog of the WSA July 2022 update for Windows 11:
While several issues have been resolved in July 2022 update, Microsoft is still aware of a couple of known issues, including a bug where some VPNs may not work with Advanced Networking. You’ll run into issues if you use a VPN, but this can be fixed if you disable Advanced Networking in the settings app.
