To use this, users need an Android device running Android 11 or later, the Link to Windows app (version 1.24071 or newer), and the latest updates for Windows 11 or Windows 10.

The Windows Subsystem for Android now has a "Partially running" system that runs with minimal resources but allows apps to launch quicker than "As needed" mode.

Users can now see their Android phone's storage as a shortcut in the File Explorer sidebar. The integration can browse, open, copy, transfer, rename, move, and delete files from your Android device.
