Remap or disable 'Copilot' chatbot key on new Windows keyboards

The steps given by Lugoo do not work. Powertoys is not able to remap the key.

The main point, though, is that this remapping shouldn't be necessary. There is no good reason to take a key that people use and turn it into something that ought to be optional. If you want to put a copilot key on a laptop, put it somewhere else rather than replacing a key that is useful.

I honestly can't understand and am deeply outraged by Microsoft's behavior regarding the co-pilot button.

I can't understand why it can't be added as an option in Windows settings to restore the original right ctrl button function.

I've tried everything (Asus Proart P16 laptop)

AutoHotKey, Powertoys remap key & remap shortcut, registry modification, but it simply can't be set. Either the button doesn't do anything, it calls co-pilot.

I BEGGING this incorrect, disgusting monopolistic gang (Microsoft) TO GIVE BACK the option to use right ctrl by default. No need to install + programs, and other nonsense.

Hello, Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Thanks for your feedbackI think you're having trouble with the Copilot key on your keyboard.

You can use the keyboard-manager feature in Microsoft PowerToys tool to remap or disable the Copilot chatbot key on your Windows keyboard. Here are the steps:

1. Download and install the Microsoft PowerToys tool from the official Microsoft website.
2. Open the PowerToys tool and select the "Keyboard Manager" tab.
3. Click on the "Remap a key" button.
4. Choose the Copilot chatbot key from the "Physical Key" dropdown menu.
5. Select the key or function you want to remap the Copilot chatbot key to from the "Mapped To" dropdown menu.
6. Click "OK" to save the changes.

If you want to completely disable the Copilot chatbot key, you can remap it to the "Disabled" option.

You can download the tool from the following link: https://dori-uw-1.kuma-moon.com/windows/powertoys/

If you are indeed using a Surface product, you can purchase the Surface Pro Signature Keyboard separately to replace the Surface Pro Flex Keyboard.

If my understanding is wrong, please point it out, so that I can assist you better.

Thank you. Not really sure why MS still has that "answer" up as the Co-pilot key isn't actually a key. It's a shortcut that combines 3 keys, so you can't just remap it like a normal key. The original answer is already vague and unhelpful, but PowerToys also doesn't make things easier .

How nice from M$ !!!
It allows me to open an app from Microsoft! :)))))
I just d**n want my right CTRL back and no more playing the fool!!!!!

Dear SirBlain, I’ve got some new information.

Microsoft has listened to everyone’s feedback and has now added the ability to customize the Copilot key in Win11 Canary Preview build 27729.

This feature is currently under evaluation, and if everything goes well, this improvement should be rolled out in a future official version.

Let’s look forward to a better Windows 11!
