    Alt + F4 Opening File Explorer


    After the recent update my computer has decided that when I use Alt + F4 it will both switch tabs and also open file explorer on the quick access page. It is quite inconvenient and i would like to know how to stop it.

    Alt-F4 produces playlists


    Hmh.. strangely enough, there actually is a playlist on Spotify named "alt F4": alt F4 on Spotify

    But anywho, you wouldn't happen to have some sort of macro program open? Macro programs allow certain key functions to do other behaviors. For example, Alt+F4 can be redirected to do other functions (such as creating a new playlist).
    I use Macro Express and have it running all the time.

    Alt f4 not working

    Can't use "alt+f4" shortcut.

    When i enter alt+f4, the pop up box says "The item KHATRA.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly"

    Alt + F4 Opening File Explorer

    Alt-F4 produces playlists


    Every time I use ALT-F4 for a current window it produces "Playlists" for music.

    Won't behave as before closing current window.

    How do I change back to normal ALT-F4 behavior?

    I did attempt to change things from Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Ease of Access Center but none of the settings have effected ALT-F4.
