  1. CTRL + Escape Shortcut


    So, I have been playing games and I have noticed that every single time I press CTRL + Escape, it would open the start menu and tab me out of my game. I have tried finding a solution online, but without any luck. Only thing I can find is some suspicious looking programs. Is there any way I can disable this shortcut? Please and thank you

    How to delete shortcut Ctrl + Shift?

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    For better clarity, please help us with the details requested below:



    • Have you assigned the “Ctrl + Shift” shortcut for any application?


    Ideally, the shortcut Ctrl + Shift is used to switch the keyboard layout when multiple keyboard layouts are available. If you have assigned the shortcut for a keyboard layout, you may try changing it by following the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows Logo key + I, to open
      Settings.
    2. Click on Devices and select
      Typing
      on the left pane.
    3. Scroll down and select Advanced keyboard settings.
    4. Click on Input language hot keys.
    5. Select the layout for which you have assigned the shortcut and click on
      Change Key Sequence.
    6. Under Switch Keyboard Layout, select
      Not assigned.
    7. Click on OK (Twice).


    Let us know the results.



    Regards,

    CTRL + ALT + DEL menu not rendered at the top


    Ctrl-Escape on windows 10 doesnt bring up task manager. Ctrl-Shift-ESC does. <-- Googled it. As far as my suggestion cant you Alt-Tab to go to the desktop, ive always done that or Alt-f4 to close. but im not sure if it will work on your game you can give it a try

    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.CTRL + Escape Shortcut :)
