Windows 10: Keyboard shortcuts for links only work until you restart your PC

Why is it that shortcuts for links only work until you restart your computer?

I created a link and set a keyboard shortcut for it (CTRL + SHIFT + B) but it only works until you restart your computer.

After restarting the computer I only get it to work again if I change the shortcut to something else (ex CTRL + ALT + C), save and then change it back to (CTRL + SHIFT + B).

Is there a way to make keyboard shortcuts permanent?
