Windows 10: How come you can't run a custom keyboard shortcut when in full screen?

For example,

You have "Ctrl + Alt + T" to open an app.

But if you're running something in full screen, like a youtube video, or a VLC player in full screen, then the shortcut won't run.

You have to exit full screen before the shortcut will work.

Any reason why?

Any way to bypass this?

List custom keyboard shortcuts

Um, this is to set up Microsoft mice and keyboards, and it's only to customize buttons and settings for the device, NOT to adjust custom hotkeys for shortcuts.
