Xbox controllers to enable typing, navigation on Windows 11

Microsoft's upcoming Windows 11 update will enable Xbox controllers to type and navigate PCs. This feature, part of Build 22631.5116, allows users to control the on-screen keyboard, with buttons assigned for backspace and spacebar functions. The update also includes enhancements to File Explorer and a new settings homepage for commercial PCs. Microsoft had previously tested this feature in October 2024 but paused it in later builds. Additionally, Microsoft is developing an AI assistant called Copilot for Gaming, which will help Xbox players with tutorials and game management. This assistant will initially be available on smartphones for Xbox Insiders.
