Microsoft is bringing back Win+C to launch Copilot or other apps on Windows 11

You can once again press Windows Logo Key + C to open Copilot on Windows 11, but Microsoft says it will let you change the keyboard shortcut to open other apps, similar to how it handles the Copilot Key on Copilot+ PCs.

    Good, more convenient, they figured out they put their foot on themselves with Alt+Space, you know, those using PowerToys weren't happy as you either use PowerToys Run or Copilot on compact view. 

  • Microsoft has reintroduced the Win+C keyboard shortcut to launch Copilot in Windows 11. This functionality allows users to easily access Copilot, which serves as an AI assistant integrated into the operating system. Additionally, Microsoft is offering the flexibility for users to customize this shortcut to open other applications. This customization is consistent with the approach taken with the Copilot key on specific devices, allowing for a more personalized user experience.
