Copilot Quick View Shortcut

Douglas G. Kulp 0

i am currently on windows 10 and I have been using copilot for weeks and the shortcut for quick view just started activating. I work in Autocad and i use the "Ctrl, Shift, C" all the time. How do i disable this shortcut without having to download a 3rd party software?

Hi Douglas G. Kulp,

In addition to the suggestions already provided, I'd also recommend reviewing the Windows settings to see whether a recent Copilot or keyboard shortcut configuration change may be contributing to the behavior.

On Windows 10, open Settings > Apps > Startup and check whether the Copilot app is configured to start automatically. If it is, try temporarily disabling it, restart your PC and then test Ctrl + Shift + C in AutoCAD again. If the shortcut works normally afterward, this would help confirm that the conflict is related to the Copilot app running in the background.

You may also want to open the Copilot app and review any available Keyboard Shortcuts or Quick View settings to see whether Ctrl + Shift + C has been assigned as a shortcut. If so, try changing it to a different key combination or disabling it and test again.

If the issue continues, could you let me know:

Which Copilot application you are using (Microsoft Copilot or Microsoft 365 Copilot)?
Did the behavior start after a recent Windows update or Copilot app update?

This information may help determine whether the shortcut conflict is caused by a recent feature rollout or an application-specific setting. I hope this helps and I look forward to your update.

I have not yet. I found a temporary work around for the time being. When I restart my computer this afternoon i'll see if it works.

sorry for the delay, i did try disabling it on start up but then it just wouldn't open at all. What i have done set it up so that when i close it, it stops running in the background.

Hi Douglas G. Kulp,

Thank you for the update and no worries about the delay.

I'm glad you've found a workaround that helps. Setting the application to stop running in the background when you close it sounds like a reasonable solution if it's working well for you.

If the issue is no longer causing any problems, you may leave the current settings as they are.

However, if you'd like to continue troubleshooting or if the issue returns, please let me know and I'll be happy to investigate further with you.

On Windows 10, the Copilot-related keyboard shortcuts can be customized or effectively disabled through Windows settings.

For the Windows-level Copilot shortcut (Windows key + C):

Open Settings.
Go to Personalization > Text input.
Select Customize Copilot key on keyboard.
Change what happens when Windows key + C is pressed, or set it so it does not open Copilot.

This prevents the Windows shortcut from interfering.

If the issue is specifically inside the Copilot app (for example, a Copilot in‑app shortcut conflicting with Ctrl+Shift+C in AutoCAD), adjust it in the Copilot app:

Open the Copilot app on Windows.
Go to Account > Settings > Copilot Keyboard Shortcuts.
Change or clear any shortcut that uses Ctrl+Shift+C or otherwise conflicts with AutoCAD.

This avoids the need for any third‑party software.
