A Windows 11 Copilot+ PC has a dedicated Copilot key on the keyboard. When you press this Copilot key, the Copilot app opens by default.

When Copilot is installed on Windows, you can enable or disable it, open Copilot when Windows starts, Pin or Unpin the Copilot side panel, Resize the Copilot side panel, delete chat history in Copilot, create a desktop shortcut, and more.
