Android Apps On Windows 11 Now Work Better With Your PC's Clipboard
Microsoft released an update for Windows 11 this week.
This update improves platform reliability and ensures better and more consistent keyboard performance when using Android apps on PC.
ARM applications should also run better on x64 processors now, thanks to kernel updates to improve compatibility.
This week, Microsoft released a Windows 11 update for Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) that improves the reliability of the platform. The update brings WSA to version 2308.40000.1.0.
This update is relatively minor, but it improves reliability in some important areas. Microsoft explains in the GitHub release notes that there are overall platform reliability improvements. In addition, the portfolio should perform better and keep up to date with updates more consistently.
Here all changes.

- Android 13 is an update in progress for WSA only
- Vulkan API support has been added to WSA
You don't have to be a Windows Insider to use Windows Subsystem for Android in Preview. Although today's update is minor, Microsoft is working hard to improve Android apps on Windows 11. Vulkan support shipped in preview last month, and Microsoft has added support for drag-and-drop and moving files, as well as copy and paste.
Although applications that support WSA do not offer the same functionality as native applications, the platform provides access to applications that are not normally available on Windows. For example, the Threads Android app was running on a Windows 11 PC with the Android subsystem before the web version of Meta Threads was released. The Android app still works, of course, but the web version of Thread is even better.
