Microsoft has announced the release of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.5761 (KB5064093) for users in the beta channel, specifically those running Windows 11 version 24H2. This update introduces a significant new feature that allows users to seamlessly resume applications from their Android devices on their Windows 11 PCs. For example, if a user is listening to a Spotify track on their Android phone, they can continue playback directly on their PC with a simple alert notification that appears on the taskbar. If the Spotify app is not installed on the PC, it will automatically initiate a one-click installation from the Microsoft Store.
To utilize this feature, users must enable access to their mobile devices through their PC settings and set up the Link to Windows app on their Android phone. Once configured, users can simply play a track on their phone to trigger the resume alert on their PC’s taskbar. This feature is being gradually rolled out, so not all users may see it immediately.
In addition to this new capability, the update brings improvements to battery iconography on the lock screen, helping users quickly gauge battery status. There are also enhancements for Copilot+ PCs, including improved launch methods for the Click to Do feature, streamlined Automatic Super Resolution settings, and new keyboard shortcuts for inserting en and em dashes while typing.
The update addresses various issues as well, including performance improvements for loading app lists in settings, fixes for Windows Hello recognition errors, and general performance enhancements for gaming with overlays. Microsoft encourages feedback through the Feedback Hub to continue refining these features.
As the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.5761 rolls out, users can expect more improvements and features to enhance their experience further, highlighting Microsoft's commitment to user experience and integration across devices. This ongoing development suggests that future builds may offer even more seamless connectivity and functionality between Android and Windows devices
