Google introduces the Quick Share update for Windows with these bug fixes

Google has rolled out a new update for Quick Share on the Windows platform that doesn’t bundle any new features, but includes bug fixes for several issues that users have been experiencing in recent weeks.

It also contains fixes for issues related to Wi-Fi LAN advertising, Wi-Fi Hotspot, Quick Share shortcut icon, system configuration preferences, and app crashing.
