One of the reasons why the latest Windows 11 updates have been criticized is for the inclusion of functions based on AI that many users do not want to use, such as the new Windows 11 recall.
Another AI -based app that has been promoted by Microsoft for more than a year is COPILOT. The assistant has become the company’s star, to the point that the new computers come with a special co -pilot key.
But what if we don’t want to use Copilot? Until now, we did not have many alternatives; The good news is that Microsoft has listened to usersand in the last update it finally allows you to configure the behavior of the assistant.
At present, we can call co -driver in two ways: with the aforementioned Copilot key, if our computer has it, or with the WIN+C keyboard shortcut. But now, we can customize it.
The latest optional Windows 11 update adds a new option to configure the Copilot key and the win+c shortcut for Execute another AI assistant that is not co -pilot; At the moment, Chatgpt seems the only compatible, but they can add more.
That means we can Call Chatgpt at any time simply by pressing the Copilot key or the win+c shortcutregardless of whether we have other open programs and without the need to find the program in the Start menu.
To do this, we first have to Install the chatgpt app for Windowswhich is available In the Microsoft Store of Windows 11. The installation process is simple, we just have to enter the link and click on “install”.
Once it’s over, we have to open the Windows 11 configuration, and enter the “Personalization” section. Next, We enter the option “Text input”.
On the new screen that will open, we will find an option called “Customize the Copilot key on the keyboard”with a selector; The option we have to choose is “personalized.”
Chatgpt option as a preferred assistant in Windows 11
The free android
If we have the open chatgpt app, a new emerging window will open in which we can select chatgpt as our favorite wizard; We just have to confirm the selection, and will be saved.
From then on, when we press the co -driver key or the Win+C keyboard shortcut, chatgpt will open instead of co -pilot. In this way, we can use the OpenAI assistant instead of Microsoft by default.
Of course, Copilot is based on the same models as Chatgpt, thanks to Microsoft’s investment in OpenAi; hence Using one or the other is just a matter of taste and if we need certain exclusive functions.
The good news is that this new configuration should facilitate much than other assistants based on AI, such as perplexity or even Google Gemini, They can become the default option in Windows 11.
The new option is available in the latest Windows 11 24h2, KB5058499 update, in addition to the Windows 11 23H2, KB5058405 update, such as the Spanish – the Free Android has been able to verify.
Unfortunately, for the moment it is not possible to use the co -pilot key or the shortcut for anything other than calling an assistant; Microsoft specifically limits this access to apps with AI.
