About this tag
Direct settings access is a feature in Microsoft's Copilot for Windows that allows users to jump directly to the exact Windows Settings page they need from a natural-language chat prompt. Instead of hunting through nested menus, users can ask Copilot about a setting and receive a clickable deep link that opens the relevant page in the Settings app. This capability is being previewed to Windows Insiders starting with Copilot app version 1.25095.161 and higher.
