Disable "CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + S" Shortcut to System Information

[mashenka]

And if you ever have treouble with Ctrl-Alt-R (which I've found to be much more annoying), rename this one:

C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\HP Recovery Manager\rebecca.exe

Why it's called Rebecca, I haven't a clue.

I spent hours on this issue over the past year, tried quick fixes (changing shortcuts, etc.) but finally found the solution that worked for me:

Uninstall "HP Event Utility" from programs (apps/features).

This will get rid of the ridiculous CTRL-ALT-R and CTRL-ALT-S mappings that ruin the UX for anyone working with more professional programs. It's related to the HPWMISVC service that launces upon startup. (Note: I'm not sure if this may disable some other functionality, but so far, I've not noticed anything I use. Besides, one can re-install this program if desired.)

The fact that HP cannot suggest this relatively simple fix and how much time we must spend figuring it ourselves shows how bad so-called tech support is these days, and how few truly earnest people there are out there.

I tracked down how to disabled this on a newer Windows 10 system.

Navigate explorer to the folder:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\HP Help and Support

Inside is a shortcut called "HP support information". Right-click on that and go to "Properties".

In the "Shortcut" tab there is a field called "Shortcut key" that probably says "Control + Alt + S". Click that and delete it (backspace key). Pree OK. You will likely have to confirm to change a system file.
