Prevent Win+Ctrl+Alt+Shift hotkeys from opening the Office dialog in Windows 1903
Posted: 20 Jun 2019, 05:48
Hello,
I've discovered that with Windows 1903 update the Microsoft has added some global hotkey:
Hold Win+Ctrl+Alt+Shift and then release it will open a Office dialog.
This means that most of the special shortcuts done with Autohotkey are affected, which happen to use that combination. The combination is important because it used to be a safe set of keys we could use for own shortcuts. The shortcut appears to be created by explorer.exe, it stops working if you kill it.
Possible fixes are: Find a way to disable the Office hotkey now globally bind by Windows to Win+Ctrl+Alt+Shift or a new way to make special keys.
As per se this is not AHK bug, but it will affect a lot of scripts I suspect. There is also thread: https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=65224
