Allen,
Thank you for this. I just might give the task bar a chance, and I know
several people do like using the task bar, but after using the shortcuts for
so many years, it just seemed to be more normal to me. Although, I do have
to admit especially after a Windows update shortcuts seem to disappear, and
I’ve heard several people say that has happened to them as well, it’s crazy!
Smile!

Janet

Janet.
The behavior has been unpredictable. Did you try creating a shortcut,
such Alt, control with the letter of your choice. If you are running
NVDA don't use the letter N. This my fix youur problem.
Personally, I like usinng the Taskbar. If you try using it for a few
days, you may like it a lot.

Hi Allen,
Are you saying I will need to wait for another update in order to get my
shortcut to work again? LOL! You’re kidding right? That shortcut is very
important to me also. I haven’t got used to the task bar in Windows Ten
yet.

I have had more than one shortcut on the desktop stop working after a
Windows 10 update. In the following update, the problem gets resolved
and the desktop shortcut works again. The apps that are very important
to me, I pin to the Taskbar.

HI Everyone,
Well, I’m back with another issue! Yesterday evening I had an update
from
Windows Ten, and the update took a little over 2 hours. Now, since the
update, I can’t open my notepad shortcut on my desktop, no matter what I
do,
it will not open. I like to have the notepad shortcut on my desktop so
I
can write something down quickly. I used the application key to see if
that
would open notepad, but that didn’t work either. I deleted the
shortcut,
and created another shortcut, but I still can’t open the notepad
shortcut
from my desktop. If I go through the start menu, I can open notepad
then,
but that is the only way I can open notepad. I had no problems opening
notepad before this recent update. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you all in advance.
Janet
