Windows 10 Keyboard Shorcut to Calculator?

Option 1

• File Explorer, type this (shell shortcut) in location bar shell:AppsFolder, right-click Calculator, Create shorcut, Yes
  
• Right-click new Calculator shortcut on Desktop, Properties, there is our Shortcut key field/entry!
  

Option 2

• Go to %WinDir%\System32, right-click calc.exe, Create Shortcut, Yes. Then step 2 above
  

If I placed the shortcut in %WinDir%\System or Documents it seemingly wouldn't work!? It was flakey even moving back to Desktop, but after I set the shortcut to something else, hit Apply, then back to Ctrl+Shift+C it'd work

 

Reassign shorcut

Let us perform some other process. You can reassign some keys to access different commands, shortcuts, or Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center features to better fit your work style.

Please note that the options listed in this wizard vary depending on the key selected. For example, since you cannot reassign the Windows key, the only option available is to disable it. To reassign a key, please follow the steps below:

• Using the keyboard that you want to configure, start Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center.
• From the displayed list of key names, select the key you want to reassign.
• In the command list of the key that you want to reassign, select a command.

Let us know the outcome of the steps provided.

Thank you.
