Windows 10: Ctrl Shift Enter Bug with Start Menu?

Hi All,

I recently updated to Windows 10 Pro 2004 from 1909. I used to be able to press the Windows key on my keyboard, type the name of the program I want to launch e.g. powershell and launch it as admin by using the key sequence Ctrl + Shift + Enter. UAC would prompt with Yes/No, and it would launch as Administartor and be the window that is in focus.

Now in Windows 10 2004, it launches as Admin but the Cortona/Search is still up and in focus rather than what I just launched.

Anyone else experience this or know of a way to resolve this inefficient behavior?

Whats Ctrl+Enter in Ubuntu ?

doesn't work , that's why I'm asking .

EDIT : NM , right ctrl+enter doesn't work, left ctrl+enter does .

Maybe thats because right ctrl is the host key in VirtualBox .
