Windows 10: How to unbind F1 key shortcut to MS Quick Assist?

Ever since I've switched to Win11, my F1 key is bound to open MS Quick Assist. Even if I uninstall Quick Assist, I'm getting a popup saying This really effects my gaming experience and I couldn't find a way to unbind the shortcut but still be able to use F1 key as always.

Unbinding Keys

Hi Dotty,

Function key's F1 to F12 have different uses depending on the keyboard manufacturer. If it's not functioning as intended, it's possible that the device driver could be corrupted or outdated. For us to better assist you, we'd like ask a few questions:

• Which Windows version and build are you using? Type winver in the search box and press
  Enter to find out.
• Have you made any changes on your device prior to the issue?
• What have you done so far to troubleshoot the issue.

Meanwhile, we suggest that you run the Hardware and Device Troubleshooter as it can check your device for any issues and will attempt to fix. If you're on a Windows 10 PC, you can run the troubleshooter by following the steps below:

• Type Troubleshooting in the Search
  bar and press Enter.
• Click on View All in the top-left corner.
• This will display the list of troubleshooters which are built-in in the computer. Click on
  Hardware and Devices from the list and run the troubleshooter.
  

If the issue persists, uninstall and reinstall the keyboard driver and check if it helps. To do so, follow the steps below:

• In the search box, type Device
  Manager, and press Enter.
• Find the device that you need to uninstall from the list.
• Right-click and click Uninstall.
• A device removal confirmation will appear, click Ok.
• After uninstalling the device, reboot your computer.
• Check if the issue persists.

Win-10 Pro Quick Assist app shortcut

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. Turns out that Quick Assist is already a shortcut in the Open Shell menu, but I was looking in the Apps menu as I knew that Quick Assist was a Win-10 pre-installed app and thus only looked in the Apps menu. Problem solved. Thanks.

 

Quick Assist not working




I suppose another possibility might be that some related service is not configured correctly...

E.g. Tweaking.com's repair tool includes a repair to set services to default.

I suggest you look at affected PCs and check installed programs to see if there are any that are common only to those and not others, especially 3rd party security programs with firewalls.

I saw a note somewhere that there's no relevant group policy.

Is this idea relevant?
