Windows 10: Disabling ctrl alt characters

Hello Microsoft community,


I have never had this problem until today when I did a fresh install of Windows 10. A lot of programs I use for development have ctrl alt shortcuts, for some reason some of the keys do not toggle the shortcuts I have bound to them. Upon further investigation inside my keyboard layout I see these keys when I press "Ctrl and Alt"

I am currently using the English (United Kingdom) Keyboard, any help to resolving this issue would be much appreciated.

ctrl alt del to logon

Hi Diane,

Conflicts with the user account settings is one of the possible reasons why the secure sign-in option is enabled on your computer even if the box in the settings is not checked. I would suggest that you enable and disable the
Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete. You can follow the steps below:

• Press the Windows key + R.
• Type control userpasswords2 or netplwiz and press the Enter key.
• Click the Advanced tab.
• Under Secure sign-in, check the Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete checkbox.
• Click Apply.
• Restart your computer.
• Open the same settings again and uncheck the Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete checkbox and follow the
  steps 5 and 6.

How to disable the Ctrl+Alt+L keyboard shortcut?

Hi all,

I'm preparing a Windows 7 laptop for a Polish user, and he wants the keyboard input format to be the Polish programmer's keyboard. This is like the US keyboard, but it enables the input of Polish characters when using certain Ctrl+Alt+letter combinations.
Like:

Ctrl+Alt+A types the character

Ctrl+Alt+Z types the character ż

Ctrl+Alt+L types the character ł

Only problem is I can't get the Ctrl+Alt+L combination to work. Seemingly because it seems to be set as a hotkey for this:





Does anyone know if and how I can disable this hotkey? I can't find any information on the web about this "Locate User Profile" function. I don't know if this is even a Windows function or if it's part of some obscure program my company bundled with our
W7 image.

Any help/info is appreciated!

 

Ctrl Alt Del, Vista

The whole Ctrl+Shift+Esc should be used to get that crazy screen with those options and Ctrl+Alt+Del should bring up TM.
