Windows 10: Windows 10 keyboard shortcut to executable remains intact after removing it form properties

I set a keyboard shortcut to an executable in the properties and removed it due to conflicts with other programs. However, the keyboard shortcut is still active even though there is none set in the properties of the executable. How do I resolve this?***** moved from german to english Community *****

Keyboard shortcuts to open programs:

Create a shortcut on the desktop to whatever program you want. Right click -> Properties and fill in the field there. Sadly the shortcut needs to remain on the desktop, but you can hide it.

Fun fact: If you had keyboard shortcuts for programs pinned to your Windows 7 start menu, those shortcuts still work when you update to Windows 10.
