    Shift+F10 is not working in MS-Excel

    Hi Rohit,

    Thank you for letting me know that the Shift+F10 command is not working on other laptops as well, and that you have updated your MS-Office through Microsoft's site.

    Regarding your question, it's great to hear that you have found a workaround by using the Windows Key+Shift+F10 shortcut instead. Unfortunately, there is no way to restore the previous version of Shift+F10 as it is a default keyboard shortcut in Excel, and cannot be customized or restored to an earlier version.

    However, you can create a custom keyboard shortcut to replicate the functionality of Shift+F10. To do this, please follow these steps:

    > Open Excel and click on the File tab.

    > Click on Options, and then click on Customize Ribbon.

    > Click on Customize.

    > In the Categories box, select All Commands.

    > In the Commands box, scroll down and select the ContextMenu command.

    > Click on the Modify button.

    > In the Modify button dialog box, enter a new keyboard shortcut by pressing the keys you want to use (for example, Ctrl+Shift+F10).

    > Click on Assign.

    > Click on Close to close the Customize dialog box.

    I hope this solution helps you.

    Best regards,

    John D.

  3. Shift +F10 not working.

    This is a bug in the windows 11 ARM build, To fix that you need to do as follow

    1. Press 'fn+shift+f10'
    2. Press 'option+tab'
    3. Then you will see a UAC window, move to that window by pressing 'option+tab' and then press 'yes' button
    Then CMD will be opened

    Why is it when in file explorer I press shift + F10 on a file it opens a on-screen shortcut?

    File Explorer


    What I saw from the Disk Management, You did not do a clean install, you probably did an in place upgrade. The 100MB System Reserved is normally used in Window 7. For a fresh install the Disk partition scheme should be as follows:
    1. 500 MB System Reserved partition
    2. C- Drive.
    Since you did not have to many apps installed, I would re-install Windows 10 as suggested above. It is better to have your Windows installed on the first sata port (Disk 0) so I suggest to open the case and connect the cable from disk 0 to disk 2 where you have C: drive. Disconnect the other cables for now and do the steps below:
    1. Boot up with Windows installation media
    2. On the first screen. Press SHIFT + F10 and type
      diskpart
      select disk 0
      clean
      exit
      exit
    3. Continue with Installation, select the unallocated partition then click Next (Do not create partition/format. Let Windows create the needed partitions.
    4. Once done, reconnect the other cables for drive D and E.
    5. Reboot, your Disk 0 should contain 500MB system reserved and C drive.
