Summary
Windows 11 Release Preview builds 26100.9539 and 26200.9539 add Emoji 17.0 support — including Bigfoot, distorted face and fight cloud — and a new option to remap the Copilot key.
The key can now act as Right Ctrl or the Context Menu key, addressing users who already access Copilot with Alt + Space and want to preserve familiar shortcuts.
File Explorer gets several usability fixes, including saved expanded or collapsed Home sections, more reliable cloud-file thumbnails and safer preview behavior for web-downloaded files.
Microsoft also adds a Tips widget, touchpad gesture controls, Camera Roll Backup via OneDrive QR setup, and WinRE support for reusing saved Wi-Fi profiles during recovery.
