Windows 10: Some CTRL+ALT shortcut combos won't work

I've set up a bunch of shortcut keys to files/folders/apps I use often by entering a key combo in the properties > shortcut page of .lnk shortcuts. I've done this in every version of Windows I've used with rarely any issues. The key combos are all CTRL+ALT combos.

There are a few that won't register. I'm trying to enter CTRL+ALT+F5 in the box, but it won't take. The CTRL+ALT shows when I press them, but as soon as I add the F5 the box blanks out and says "None" (the default state). I'm entering everything correctly since it's the same procedure I used to successfully set up other combos. This happens with the F8 key and a few others as well. I'm guessing they're preset system combos but they don't seem to do anything when I press them. I've also used those combos on earlier versions of Windows without any problems.

Anyone have any ideas? This is a Windows 10 Home 64 bit HP Envy x360 laptop.
Thanks...

Is there a method to set up keyboard shortcuts?

I am a quadriplegic, no use of my hands and must use sticky keys because voice recognition won't work in a loud atmosphere. The only way to navigate is with the keyboard but Windows 10 keyboard shortcuts are a fallacy. Some work some don't. I've submitted
plenty of posts, with one or two replies that get nowhere or have the same issue, in the community, insider program and other blogs. At issue seems to be the Alt key. Although it works to exit with Alt F4 it does not work in any other combos. I use these to
navigate almost all of my apps. Browsers, control panel etc... Is there a method to set up your own shortcuts?

Thanks,

Steve

 

Windows 10 Accent Colours Automatically Changing

Have you accidentally inverted the colours? Ctrl + Alt + I is the combo.
