Windows 10: Some keyboard and other shorcuts no longer working

After discovering the win+p hotkey shortcut, I'd been using it frequently. For whatever reason, likely the last update--to you know, fix things...--win+p no longer does anything nor can I mouse click the audio icon in system tray to select the audio source. I have to open audio settings and select from that screen. What happened? Why does MS keep taking away or burying features?

Windows 10 Keyboard Shorcut to Calculator?

Option 1

• File Explorer, type this (shell shortcut) in location bar shell:AppsFolder, right-click Calculator, Create shorcut, Yes
  
• Right-click new Calculator shortcut on Desktop, Properties, there is our Shortcut key field/entry!
  

Option 2

• Go to %WinDir%\System32, right-click calc.exe, Create Shortcut, Yes. Then step 2 above
  

If I placed the shortcut in %WinDir%\System or Documents it seemingly wouldn't work!? It was flakey even moving back to Desktop, but after I set the shortcut to something else, hit Apply, then back to Ctrl+Shift+C it'd work

 

Reassign shorcut

Let us perform some other process. You can reassign some keys to access different commands, shortcuts, or Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center features to better fit your work style.

Please note that the options listed in this wizard vary depending on the key selected. For example, since you cannot reassign the Windows key, the only option available is to disable it. To reassign a key, please follow the steps below:

• Using the keyboard that you want to configure, start Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center.
• From the displayed list of key names, select the key you want to reassign.
• In the command list of the key that you want to reassign, select a command.

Let us know the outcome of the steps provided.

Thank you.

 

Instanced Desktop shorcuts

Two things, one is that the Desktop is actually a folder in C:\Users in File Explorer, can't have 2 or more identical files or shortcuts of the same name. The other is on the right-click of the Taskbar, click Toolbars and put a check on Desktop, will get an item on the Taskbar when clicked will give a list of the shortcuts on the Desktop but will usually be a random list unless maybe the Desktop is sorted by name.
