Your laptop’s Windows Copilot key can be repurposed soon
After kind of giving up on integrating Windows Copilot, now Microsoft may be kind of giving up on the Windows Copilot key, too. In the latest build (Build 22635.4225) to the Beta Channel of Microsoft’s Windows Insider program, there’s a new control that allows you to remap your laptop’s Copilot key.
