Microsoft restores the Win + C shortcut for Windows
Microsoft is bringing back the Win + C keyboard shortcut for Windows devices. This feature was removed about a year ago, but now it is returning with new customization options. The Win + C shortcut used to change its function over time. Initially, it opened Cortana, then Teams, and later it became linked to the Copilot feature. Microsoft had intended to replace it with a dedicated Copilot key on keyboards. However, this plan did not receive the expected popularity. Now, Microsoft is experimenting with reintroducing the Win + C shortcut. Users may have the chance to customize what the shortcut does in the settings. There are hints that it could also be used to open context menus, similar to its original function. The response to the Copilot key has led Microsoft to rethink its approach. They appear to be allowing more flexibility in how users can set up their keyboard shortcuts. This change shows that Microsoft is listening to user feedback regarding keyboard functionality.
