Hi all,

I've got icons on my windows 10 desktop, and for some--like word, Jaws, 
and NVDA--I have shortcuts (e.g., alt+ctrl+w, alt+ctrl+j, and 
alt+ctrl+n). These shortcuts work just fine 95% of the time, but every 
so often, one or the other doesn't work. It seems to happen most often 
with the one for Jaws, but it's happened once or twice with others.

Today, for example, Jaws was acting strangely after log in, so I used 
ins+f4 to close it, and after a minute or so, I pressed alt+ctrl+j to 
restart it. Nothing happened. I tried a couple more times. Then I 
started NVDA without any problems, After ten or fifteen minutes, I 
closed NVDA and tried Jaws a couple more times, but nothing, so I 
continued with NVDA. Another twenty minutes later, I tried Jaws some 
more. alt+ctrl+j never worked, but I was able to use Windows+m to move 
to the desktop, type the letter j, and press enter. When I checked 
properties for the desktop icon, the hotkey was still there.

Again, it happens with other icons too. Same scenario. Maybe once or 
twice a month.

Has anyone else had this issue, or does anyone know why this happens? I 
don't think I've had this issue in previous versions of Windows.

Ciao
