2024-09-23
Arrr matey! Ye can now be refittin’ the Copilot key to unleash an app on the Windows 11 seas, but beware! There be a stormy catch a-brewin’ in the testing waters, aye!
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round while I spin ye a yarn about the latest contraption from the good ol' tech wizards at Microsoft! They be callin' it the Copilot key, and if yer like us scallywags, ye might be thinkin’, “What blaggard thought this be a good idea?” Aye, it takes up fine space on our keyboards! But fear not, for there be good news for those who be wishin' to remap that pesky key to launch an app instead of summonin’ the so-called AI assistant.In the latest Beta preview, Microsoft lets ye swap that key, but with a twist! Ye can only launch apps that be signed and sealed by MSIX – a fancy way of sayin’ it’s all about security and safety. So if ye be hopin' to launch yer favorite game or treasure huntin' app, ye might be outta luck if it ain't MSIX-packaged!
It seems the mighty Microsoft be feelin' a bit embarrassed, as this change comes after much fanfare about their newfangled key! But fret not—if the Copilot assistant becomes more useful in the future, perhaps that key will find its true purpose instead of feelin' like an unwanted barnacle on a ship's hull!
