  • Copilot key has caused controversy, Microsoft intends to enable it to open context menus in Win11 24H2

    Copilot key has caused controversy, Microsoft intends to enable it to open context menus in Win11 24H2

    IT Home reported on February 11 that Microsoft may allow users to remap the Copilot key in future versions of Windows 11 24H2. This feature stems from some users’ dissatisfaction with the Copilot key in Copilot + laptops. Currently, Microsoft has not issued an official statement, but according to the latest news, this feature is expected to be implemented in Windows 11 24H2, and even the 23H2 version will be supported.

    According to source Phantom,Microsoft plans to add a feature in Windows that allows users to configure the Copilot key to open the context menu.

    The context menu is a pop-up menu similar to the options menu that appears when a user right-clicks a file, folder, or text. future,Users can open the context menu anywhere in the browser, desktop, or file explorer via the Copilot key, which will give the Copilot key more practical features.. Currently, the Copilot key opens the web-based Windows 11 Copilot app by default, and on enterprise-grade computers, this key tries to open the Copilot app, but eventually jumps to the Microsoft 365 Office app.

    Microsoft seems to be confused about the positioning of the Copilot key and is considering linking it to the context menu shortcut keys. Previously, laptops had a dedicated menu key to open context menus, but to save space, this feature was cancelled in modern laptop keyboards. Some Surface devices once retained the menu key, but are now replaced by the Copilot key.

    January 2024,Microsoft regards the launch of the Copilot key as the most important change in Windows PC keyboards since the birth of the Windows key three decades, and positions it as the entrance for users to enter the world of artificial intelligence. Subsequently, major manufacturers including Asus, Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung launched Copilot+ laptops equipped with the Copilot key, which replaced the traditional right Ctrl key. In the original design, the Copilot key called out Copilot in the form of a sidebar, and the service was packaged as a progressive web application (PWA), essentially a desktop-like web page running in the Edge browser.

    However, the market performance of Copilot+ laptops did not meet expectations. On the one hand, Copilot’s functionality lacks innovation, making the Copilot key just a key that users will press out of curiosity, rather than a tool that is really used to complete actual tasks. On the other hand, from the actual sales situation, the dealer has received a large number of complaints from users about the Copilot key, and the user wants to turn off the key. Dealers worry that users may return to their laptops as a result, or download dangerous third-party programs to remap the key.

    IT Home noticed that in October 2024, Microsoft began providing optional patch updates to some users, allowing users to customize the Copilot key, which users can choose to let the key open other applications or Windows searches. However, only a few specific applications can be opened.

    In December 2024, Microsoft announced that it would update Copilot to a native application, but according to Windows Latest investigation, this is actually a wrapped version of WebView that only integrates web-based Copilot into a native application window. Since then, instead of focusing on improving Copilot’s capabilities, Microsoft has begun to integrate it into all products, and even renamed and redesigned some products to match the style of Copilot.

    Today, Microsoft plans to allow users to remap the Copilot key to the feature of opening a context menu, perhaps a decision made by Microsoft to avoid further user complaints. However, it is not clear whether Microsoft will actually launch the update and when.

    A preliminary exploration of Microsoft Win11 Start Menu Changes: AI Grid Classification, In-depth Integrated Mobile Phone Control

    IT Home reported on February 11 that technology media Windows Latest released a blog post yesterday (February 10), reporting that Microsoft is renovating the start menu of Windows 11.By deeply integrating AI elements and deeply integrating cross-platform experience for mobile phones, we will bring users an excellent user experience.

    More intuitive grid view

    Microsoft will change the list of list applications that have been used for more than a decade. The newly added grid view (Name grid) is similar to other mainstream operating systems and will provide a more intuitive and familiar application browsing experience.

    List of existing list applications on Windows 11 system

    More innovative is the Category view, which uses AI technology to automatically group applications with similar uses into different category folders. Click the application icon to open it directly, and click the category folder to view all applications under this category. Default categories such as Utility Tools, Efficiency, Creativity, Entertainment, and Others have appeared in the beta. IT Home attaches the relevant pictures as follows:

    Due to the classification of AI analytics application names and metadata, each user’s application category may vary, and users are currently unable to customize or add new categories.

    In-depth integrated mobile phone control

    Microsoft enhances phone connectivity (Phone Link), and Android and iOS users can view phone battery power, messages, calls, photos and other information in the right panel of the Start menu.

    After the Start menu integrates the phone connection function, users can quickly interact with their phones without frequently opening the Phone Link app, creating a more seamless Windows experience. The sidebar also has a new “Send File” button to facilitate users to send files directly from the Start menu to their phones.

    Bypassing the Win11 system requires the detection tool Flyby11 to be marked by Microsoft Defender as potential harmful software

    IT House News on February 4, Windows 10 system will officially stop supported after eight months. At that time, users who are still using Windows 10 will face three options: continue to use Windows 10 without subsequent support to Windows 11, or if the hardware does not meet the TPM 2.0 requirements of Windows 11, you need to buy a new computer.

    Earlier, some users have been exploring an unofficial fourth choice, that is, through bypassing the system to check the system, Windows 11 is installed on the non -supported hardware. However, Microsoft does not seem to have an acquiescence attitude towards such an avoidance.

    IT House previously reported,Microsoft has deleted a piece of text on its “Method of Installing Windows 11” pageEssence Earlier, this page has clearly stated that although it is not recommended to install the system on the device that does not meet the requirements of the Windows 11 minimum system, if the user knows and accepts relevant risks, you can bypass TPM 2.0 by creating a specific registry key value (at least at least Need TPM 1.2) and CPU families and models. Today, the description and related registry key values ​​have disappeared from the page, indicating that Microsoft does not want to publicly publicize the method of bypassed TPM 2.0.

    Now, Neowin has noticed a update on the Github page of the third -party tool Flyby11. The tool is very popular because users are allowed to bypass TPM 2.0 asks to install Windows 11 on any machine. However,Update shows that Windows Defender has marked the tool as potential harmful software (PUA: Win32 / Patcher)Essence Flyby11 developers said that users can choose to ignore the warning to continue to upgrade, and he will contact Microsoft to confirm whether it is an official classification or a mistake.

    It is unclear whether other antivirus software will also have a similar response to Flyby11, but developers are working hard to communicate with Microsoft to solve this problem.
