The Android Subsystem for Windows 11 has undergone a significant overhaul that Microsoft has been testing, and the July 2022 feature update is now going out with a ton of enhancements. This update brings the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) to version 2205.40000.14.0 and introduces a number of platform enhancements.
Advanced networking functionality for Windows 11’s Android Subsystem integration enables apps to access local devices for ARM hardware. Apps can now utilize the capability as a result. Microsoft is also adding support for IPv6 and VPN connectivity, two new features.
All users have access to the subsystem’s new networking features. The Settings app has been improved, which is another new feature. As you are surely aware, WSA has its own unique settings panel, and with today’s release, Microsoft improved the Settings panel.
The complete changelog for the Windows 11 WSA July 2022 update is provided below:
- Microsoft has turned on the advanced networking features. This gives ARM apps access to local network gadgets.

If you use a VPN, you’ll encounter problems, but you can resolve this by turning off Advanced Networking in the settings app.
