Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 28020.1737 (Canary) refines Pen settings with a new “Same as Copilot key” pen tail option, deployed via Control Feature Rollout. Insiders should expect instability, incomplete localization, phased rollouts, and a required clean install to leave Canary. Report issues via Feedback Hub (WIN+F).
Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 28020.1737 is released to the Canary Channel. This build refines Pen settings and uses controlled feature rollout for staged availability.
Main feature/change and impact
Build 28020.1737 introduces a refined Pen settings page and a new pen tail button option. The new option, “Same as Copilot key”, maps the pen tail button to launch the same app as the Copilot key. This change standardizes pen behavior across devices. It reduces configuration friction for users who rely on pen and Copilot workflows.Practical implications
Canary Channel distribution means features roll out gradually via Control Feature Rollout. Expect limited documentation and potential instability in early builds. Feedback Hub reporting is required for Bluetooth, keyboard, mouse, and pen issues. Moving out of Canary requires a clean Windows 11 reinstall, so evaluate risk before enrolling production devices.“we are releasingWindows 11 Insider Preview Build 28020.1737to the Canary Channel.”This build uses staged deployment to monitor telemetry and feedback before wider release. Insiders should test pen-to-Copilot key mapping and report localization issues. Track build status on Flight Hub and submit bugs via Feedback Hub under Devices and Drivers.
