Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds to the Beta Channel with improved Microsoft Defender for Endpoint ransomware attack blocking capabilities.
"We enhanced Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's ability to identify and intercept ransomware and advanced attacks," Microsoft's Amanda Langowski and Brandon LeBlanc said.
Today, the Windows Insider Program Team also rolled out updates for Windows Subsystem for Android to all Windows 11 Insider channels.
Starting today, Windows Subsystem for Android Settings app allows users to toggle on compatibility for games with joysticks, gamepads in games, and aiming and sliding with arrow keys.
While Microsoft has also updated Windows Subsystem for Android in July to enable Windows 11 Insiders to use their VPN's IP address with Android apps, users are now asked to disable Advanced Networking in settings when using VPNs if they lose network connectivity.
The Windows Subsystem for Android is available in public preview for United States users starting in February 2022.
