Previously, the Win + C shortcut was used to launch Cortana in Windows 10, and later repurposed to open Copilot in Windows 11 (before being reassigned to ALT + Space and even a dedicated Copilot key on newer keyboards).
As a result, the Win + C function remains inactive and unusable unless manually remapped through key remapping tools.

However, according to recent rumors shared by leaker @PhantomOfEarth on X, Microsoft is reportedly experimenting with reintroducing the Win + C shortcut. This new version would function similarly to the Copilot key, allowing users to configure it manually in the Settings menu.
The key question is whether the Win + C shortcut will remain independent of the Copilot key on keyboards. If not, it could lead to redundant functionality. For now, we’ll have to wait for official updates from Microsoft, as no concrete details have been released.
