Microsoft is preparing a future Windows 11 update that will let users change what the Copilot key does, restoring its prior function. Multiple outlets report that Microsoft has confirmed the upcoming option to remap the Copilot key back to what it was before the Windows 11 AI assistant feature introduced the dedicated Copilot key. In the new configuration, the Copilot key can be converted into a Right Ctrl key or, in some cases, a Context Menu key. The reports describe this as a user-requested adjustment, aimed at giving people flexibility if the Copilot key layout no longer matches their preferred keyboard shortcuts or workflows. The coverage aligns on the core point that Microsoft will add a setting allowing the key’s control behavior to be reconfigured, rather than forcing it to remain dedicated to launching Copilot. Details such as rollout timing and whether the option applies to all devices are not specified in the provided excerpts. Overall, the update is positioned as a return of established key behavior with additional customization for Windows 11 users.
