Microsoft Removes Win+C Shortcut in Push for Dedicated Copilot Key

The change affects all Windows 11 PCs, making Copilot less accessible without new hardware.

The Win+C keyboard shortcut for launching Copilot has been discontinued in the latest Windows 11 update.
Microsoft introduces a dedicated Copilot key on new Copilot+ PCs, replacing the traditional shortcut.
The Copilot feature is now a Progressive Web App (PWA) and no longer integrates with Windows settings.
Users can still access Copilot via the taskbar icon, but the change is seen as a move to drive sales of new hardware.
Custom key mapping software can be used to restore the Win+C shortcut functionality.
