Windows Subsystem for Android, the feature of Windows that allows users to run Android apps directly on their Windows devices, is getting an update. The new version, 2304.40000.5.0, shipping to Windows 11 on all Windows Insider channels, adds “package verification, improved reliability and AppLink support.”

- Ability for users to configure how much memory to assign to Android
- Android apps will be launched when a user opens the supported app link from any app (Android AppLink support)
- Linux kernel updated to 5.15.94
