  1. Changing customized shortcut keys


    Hello everyone, I've been having trouble with a Microsoft predefined shortcut and would like to delete that Microsoft defined shortcut. When I was using Jetbrains IntelliJ Idea IDE, I used to press CTRL + Alt + L to do code reformatting but now when I press the key combination, the window goes to Switch User window. I want to remove the Microsoft shortcut because I can also do that with Win + L and again I'm used to the Jetbrain's shortcut. Any help soon will be of great importance and I will appreciate. Thank you.

    :)

    List custom keyboard shortcuts

    Hi,

    I would like to create a shortcut to Windows Update using CTRL-ALT-U, but when I try to put that in the shortcut key area of the shortcut, it blanks out again. This means I have used that key combo elsewhere, but typing it doesn't do anything. I upgraded
    from Win7 to Win10 and I think I set it for Windows 7 Update.

    My questions are,

    1. How do I reassign this shortcut?
    2. How do I get a list of custom shortcuts that are already set?

    Thanks!
