Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27729 has been released to Windows Insiders in the Canary Channel. The functionality encompasses the configuration of the Copilot key, which initiates an MSIX-packaged and signed application, thereby guaranteeing security and privacy. Furthermore, corrections have been implemented to address problems related to specific games, windowing, and BitLocker functionality for select Insiders.
Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27729 (Canary Channel)
Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27729 to the Canary Channel.
Changes and Improvements
[Settings]
- We are adding the ability to configure the Copilot key. You can choose to have the Copilot key launch an app that is MSIX packaged and signed, thus indicating the app meets security and privacy requirements to keep customers safe. The key will continue to launch Copilot on devices that have the Copilot app installed until a customer selects a different experience. This setting can be found via Settings > Personalization > Text input. If the keyboard connected to your PC does not have a Copilot key, adjusting this setting will not do anything. We are planning further refinements to this experience in a future flight.

Fixes
[General]
- We fixed an underlying issue causing some games, including Microsoft Solitaire & Casual Games, to crash on launch after installing Build 27718+.
[Windowing]
- Fixed an underlying issue which could cause the screen to go black for a few seconds for some people when using ALT + Tab.
[Other]
- We fixed an issue causing BitLocker to not work correctly for a small number of Insiders in the last 2 flights.
