When gaming, there are moments when I need to use the Shift key to crouch, sprint, etc. Sometimes, I manage to press Ctrl + Shift + S + D simultaneously, and it turns my screen black, displaying "Check HDMI-In Cable." Pressing this hotkey once more, it returns to normal, with the top of the computer saying "Active Port: PC." The reason why this is a problem is that it's super annoying and it interferes with whatever I was doing. I looked at other related posts and found one that pointed out you can't disable it; refer to this post: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/questions/hp-pavilion-24-touch-screen-all-in-one-intel-core-i5-12gb-mem.... There were no further responses, so I'm now asking if there's at least a way to override this hotkey. Thanks a lot.
