Windows 10 shortcut key not working - Please help

Hey guys,

I'm trying to create a shortcut key for a program/script that turns off my monitor. I've confirmed that the small program is working by double clicking on it. The problem I'm having is that when I go to create a shortcut key for it. First I create a shortcut to the program, then I set a shortcut key, say "ctrl-shift-s". After applying the changes, clicking Ok, I try to use the shortcut by pressing the ctrl-shift-s key combination. When I do this, nothing happens. I've confirmed that shortcut keys works with other apps like the Command Prompt. Does anyone have any insight to this?

Cheers,

How to delete shortcut Ctrl + Shift?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



For better clarity, please help us with the details requested below:

• Have you assigned the “Ctrl + Shift” shortcut for any application?
  

Ideally, the shortcut Ctrl + Shift is used to switch the keyboard layout when multiple keyboard layouts are available. If you have assigned the shortcut for a keyboard layout, you may try changing it by following the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + I, to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on Devices and select
   Typing on the left pane.
   
3. Scroll down and select Advanced keyboard settings.
   
4. Click on Input language hot keys.
   
5. Select the layout for which you have assigned the shortcut and click on
   Change Key Sequence.
   
6. Under Switch Keyboard Layout, select
   Not assigned.
   
7. Click on OK (Twice).
   

Let us know the results.

MS Wireless Comfort 5050 Keyboard & Mouse Mail Shortcut Key

Hi Jacqueline,

We'd like to know if the other dedicated key are working properly? What happens when you press the Mail icon key?

As an alternative to create a shortcut key for Windows Mail, follow the steps below:

• Right-click on the Mail app shortcut icon > Select Properties.
• Go to Shortcut tab > On the Shortcut key field, hit any key.
• Press OK.

Note: If you type 'G' for example under the Shortcut key field it will automatically show Ctrl + Alt + G. The shortcut key would depend on your choice but the Ctrl + Alt will be constant.

Keep us posted about your concern.
