Think Windows 11’s Copilot key is useless? We’ve got some good news – you’ll soon be able to reconfigure it

Microsoft now allows users to remap the new Copilot key on Windows 11 laptops in beta testing. The key can be reconfigured to launch MSIX-packaged apps instead of the AI assistant. This change addresses criticism that the dedicated Copilot key wastes keyboard space. However, the limitation to MSIX apps may frustrate some users. Microsoft originally touted the Copilot key as a major keyboard innovation, but its usefulness remains debated.
