    Disabling the Office hotkey in Windows 10


    I recently purchased a keyboard that comes with a 'hyper' key, which counts as a combination of alt+shift+ctrl+win and is used as a modifier key. Unfortunately, Windows seems to think that's the key combination to open Office, and even though I don't have Office installed on this computer, that key combination still opens a browser tab pointed at office.com. How do I disable this behaviour, and allow this key to be used as a general modifier?

    :)

    Office disables Windows animations

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    This can happen when Windows tries to choose performance over display/graphic effects. I would request you to follow the steps mentioned below:

    Method 1: Disable hardware acceleration in Office

    1. Start any Office program.
    1. On the File tab, click Options.
    2. In the Options dialog box, click Advanced.
    3. In the list of available options, click to select the Disable hardware graphics acceleration check box.

    Method 2: Update the graphic drivers: Please follow the steps mentioned in the article:

    Update drivers in Windows 10
    to update the graphic drivers.

    Hope this helps.

    Spoiler Office 2019
    Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

    • Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
    • Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
      • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
      • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
      • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
    • The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.
