    Shortcut feature stopped working


    When I click on a new shortcut it says "Application not found" What`s causing this?
    I uninstalled and reinstalled my browser - no change.
    Could my cleaning tool have deleted something?
    When I right click on New > Shortcut and paste in a web-address > click Next and assign a name and Save it I expect to create a shortcut to the web address. Now when I click on the shortcut it says Application Not found.

    :)

    I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

    • Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.
    • Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).
    • Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).
    • Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut). The shortcut on my attachment, but when i click on it my screen goes off and on and nothing else.Shortcut feature stopped working :)

  3. Windows 10 "snap" features no longer work with shortcuts after major update

    After the recent major Windows 10 update after the notification that support for earlier Windows 10 base versions will cease in November, "snap" features stopped working with keyboard shortcuts.

    All snap settings set to "enabled".

    https://i.stack.imgur.com/YMGt3.png

    "Snap" still works when using the edge of the screen.

    However, when using Win+Arrow the following features no longer work (simple snap to the side still does - the others do not):

    • no longer resizes adjacent windows & the "connecting border" between windows is missing
    • no longer opens the prompt with suggestions for selecting adjacent windows
    • doesn't allow for placing windows in 1/4 (corner) of the screen (Win+Right+Down) and the down arrow instead simply minimizes the window
