Windows 10: How to cancel some default "Win button + another button" shortcuts to replace them with mine?

Hi, pretty self explanatory question please - how canI cancel some default "Win button + another button" shortcuts to replace them with mine?

For example Windows + F opens up the feedback hub but when I try to assign it to another app (using the "keyboard shortcut" function on the properties of a desktop shortcut of the app, it only lets me assign shortcuts to combinations that are not currently taken by Windows.

Thank you!

Shortcuts in Start menu keep dissapearing? replaced by default ones.

Hello,

occasionally when i start up my PC (recently after cleaning it) I open the start menu to find that all of my shortcuts are gone, & replaced by the terrible default ones from when you first install Windows. So i remove the default ones, refind, and "pin to start" all MY preferred shortcuts, then a few days later, Poof! theyre gone again replaced by the same terrible "news" "groove music" , "calendar" "win store" etc.. anyone have an idea as to why this might be happening?No updates have occurred in the interim of Both occurrences, so it cant be that

Win 10 Pro 1703
15063.138 (terrible start menu edition)


thanks

 

SHUTDOWN BUTTON !!

Hi,

To create shutdown button shortcut, kindly follow these steps.

• Right-click on the desktop, select New and then choose Shortcut.
• In the shortcut location box, enter the command for shutdown shutdown.exe -s -t 00.
• Click Next, then type the name of this shortcut.
• Click Finish.
• Right-click the shortcut on the desktop, then select Pin to taskbar.

Let us know the outcome.

 

Sticky power button.

I had (still have actually) a Thermaltake Xaser case that had a power button that would get stuck. The plastic housing would get wedged sideways and hold the button down. I eventually just learned where/how to press it so it wouldn't get stuck.

If you don't mind chopping it up, you could try replacing it with something like a vandal resistant switch or a military switch. Any kind of momentary switch would do. Drill the appropriate sized hole and screw it in.
