That new Copilot key on your keyboard? Its useless for business
Microsofts genAI-based Copilot app for Windows doesnt work with Microsofts identity and access management platform Entra, prompting the company to advise organizations to uninstall the app and reconfigure the Copilot keyboard key to open the Microsoft 365 app instead.The Copilot key was originally intended to launch Copilot on Windows, Microsofts Reanne Wong said in ablog post. This has changed, as weve evolved Microsoft Copilot on Windows to better accommodate feedback and needs.As weve previously shared, Copilot on Windows has been removed, and the Microsoft Copilot app is now only available to consumer users who authenticate with a Microsoft account, Wong said. It will not work for commercial users authenticating with a Microsoft Entra account.Microsoft says the change is designed to strengthen data security and privacy and simplify the user experience for those signed in with a Microsoft Entra work or school account. Organizations are also advised to use AppLocker to prevent employees from reinstalling Copilot.
