  Configuration options vary depending on device manufacturer.
  A future Windows 11 update will add a setting that allows you to remap the Copilot key to either the Right Ctrl key or the Context menu key.
  Keyboard layouts and Copilot key implementations can vary based on device manufacturer, firmware configuration, and hardware design.

None of this would have been necessary if it had been an option in BIOS/UEFI from the beginning. Hybris.

Definitely for the EU budget. Now it will receive at least 2.25€ per package (75%[1] of 3€) where they got 0€ before. For the individual countries and their customs systems and personnel on the other hand...
