Z13 - 128GB. 2025. How to reassign side button, and what's up with the docs???

First off I have to say I'm kind of disappointed in the documentation for this rather expensive Z13 Flow.  What little documentation is provided is basically a copy/paste of generic laptop tips and tricks.  Very little is specific to the Z13.

They also really, really seem to want me to use ScreenXpert and GlideX. lol.  It's almost embarrassing how hard they are pushing those apps.   Which leads to my biggest problem so far...

The extra button on the side of the screen (next to the volume buttons) is hard-coded to launch the Microsoft Store and navigate to the Asus ScreenXpert download page.  Yikes Asus.  If I long press the same button I get co-pilot, which is actually worse. lol.  As far as I can tell, there is no way to re-assign the actions of this button.  Soooooooo frustrating!

I've checked through Armory Crate, and the MyAsus app.  No luck.  I did a live chat with Asus tech support and they couldn't figure it out either (although I will say they were friendly and promised to follow up by email).  If anyone has any ideas of how to re-assign or disable this button, please help!

Well support finally got back to me.  They said it was not possible to reassign or disable the button... so we are stuck with a hardcoded link to their ScreenXpert program.  Pretty lame.  One way to disable it is just to wipe the whole laptop and reinstall a clean version of windows.  Thats what im doing now.
