May 23, 2022Thanks for the feedback. We found and fixed an issue late last week during the Background Effects rollout that effected a portion of the population. The fix is already rolling out and should be 100% by end of week. The fix is on the backend so there is nothing for the user to install. If you still cannot use Background Effects by end of week (5/27), do let us know. We are here to help.

Yun_Liu this is now working for me so the fix must have rolled out.
Brilliant to finally have this feature in AVD. Caused a lot of issues with our user base that the feature was missing.
Also, the multi-window support is another great plus!

Thanks
