Windows 10: Have these keyboard shortcuts been replaced?

I have frequently used the Windows shortcuts of alt+space and win+x, but they no longer work as they did they may they trigger different operations. I used alt+space to maximize/minimize/restore my screen, and win+x to bring me to the section of the start menu where I could choose Hibernate, Sleep, or similar operations. If these shortcuts have been replaced, what are the replacement shortcuts?
