Windows 11 Canary Build 28020.1737: New Pen Settings and More
The latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 28020.1737 hits the Canary Channel with a handful of tweaks that should make using a stylus feel a little more predictable for those who rely on it daily.
Pen Settings Refined for a Smoother Workflow
A small but welcome overhaul of the Pen settings page appears in this build. The UI now groups options by function, reducing visual clutter when searching for that one setting. A new toggle lets users disable pressure sensitivity for a particular app without having to dig through the tablet driver software. For many artists and designers who switch between Photoshop and Office, this means less time hunting for “pressure curves” and more time actually drawing.
The Copilot Key Connection Becomes Flexible
The pen tail button can now be mapped to launch whatever the Copilot key does. In practice this means that if a user has configured Copilot to open their favorite note‑taking app, pressing the tail button will do the same thing. This is handy on laptops where the pen tail button often feels like a “magic wand” that should trigger a context‑sensitive action. By aligning it with Copilot, one extra click is eliminated in everyday use.
Toggle On: Gradual Rollout of New Features
Windows 11’s Canary Channel still rolls out changes gradually, even if the toggle to enable them is switched on. This can lead to a situation where some users see new options while others do not. For developers and power users testing builds, it’s worth noting that enabling the toggle does not guarantee instant access to all features; they may appear after a few days as Microsoft ships updates to a broader segment.
