    Information Microsoft first made investments that improve cmd, PowerShell, and many other command-line tools and developer scenarios. Second Microsoft decided to grow their command line family by adding real, native Bash and with it support for Linux command-line tools which run directly on Windows in an environment that behaves like Linux!

    Starting with Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14316, you can natively run Bash in Windows. BASH is a popular text-based shell and command-language. It is the default shell included within Ubuntu and other Linux distro’s, and in OSX. Users type commands into a shell to execute scripts and/or run commands and tools to accomplish many tasks.

    You can now run Bash scripts, Linux command-line tools like sed, awk, grep, and you can even try Linux-first tools like Ruby, Git, Python, etc. directly on Windows. You can also access your Windows filesystem from within Bash allowing you to work on the same set of files using your preferred Windows tools or Linux command-line tools.

    For more details about Bash, see:
    This tutorial will show you how to create or download a Bash on Ubuntu on Windows shortcut in Windows 10.

    Keyboard shortcuts not working on Desktop

    This is happening when I create a keyboard shorcut from the Properties window of the shortcut. I have the issue for every keyboard shortcut that I tried. I tried:CTRL + ALT + T : CMD; CTRL + ALT + F : Firefox; CTRL + ALT + B : Ubuntu Bash on Windows

    And the keyboard shortcut work well when I have the file explorer or any program open; but it doesn't work when i am on Desktop.
