Microsoft has released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27729 to the Canary Channel, adding a new feature for the Microsoft Copilot keyboard.
Insiders now have the option to configure the Copilot key to launch an app that is MSIX packaged and signed, indicating that the app meets security and privacy requirements. The setting can be found viaSettings > Personalization > Text input. Further refinements are planned in a future flight.
The build also fixes an underlying issue that caused certain games, including Microsoft Solitaire & Casual Games, to crash on launch after installing Build 27718+. There’s also a fix for an issue where the screen would go black for a few seconds for some people when using ALT + Tab, and BitLocker did not work correctly for a small number of Insiders in the last two flights.
As for known issues, here’s what to be aware of:
Microsoft is rolling out an update for Snipping Tool (version 11.2409.23.0 and newer) to Windows Insiders in the Canary, introducing a new “Copy as table” feature.
You can download Build 27729 via Windows Update if you’re on the Canary Channel. The new build comes just a few days after Microsoft releasedBuild 27723 to the Dev Channel.
