    Block the Endless Shortcuts


    I would appreciate if Windows 11 could add an option to automatically prevent apps from placing shortcuts. The endless stream of shortcuts coming from apps seems like it will not stop unless Windows makes a change to allow users to stop them.

    I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

    • Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.
    • Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).
    • Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).
    • Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut). The shortcut on my attachment, but when i click on it my screen goes off and on and nothing else.Block the Endless Shortcuts :)
