Hi,

I'm sure you'll get a bunch of reports soon but figured that I would post here to help people and to potentially save you some debugging.

Hopefully you can flag this with MS and they can fix it.

Reading that... seriously, what is someone thinking?! That is a mess.

This is the first report of this, but yes, we are clearly going to get more reports of this.

So far though I am not seeing the problem here. Are you running one of these new CoPilot enabled computers with local AI? I am not, so I am wondering if that is part of the trigger condition for this to take effect. A complete guess on my part though.

I'm on the latest Win11 and Edge. This was working fine until a few days ago and I've lost the shortcut at home but not at the office.

Testing a different Windows 11 machine. Windows Update is reporting that everything is installed and up to date. With Edge open and having focus, Alt-Shift-S is being grabbed. But change to another program, and Alt-Shift-S is being ignored. Perhaps this is only being rolled out to some people? But until I can reproduce it, I cannot test which options stop this happening. Not helpful.

Looks like I need to try all of my Windows 11 machines in turn.

Well, that didn't get me very far. 6 machines checked now, 2 of them will do something on Alt-Shift-S if Edge is open and has focus, but neither of them do anything when Edge does not have focus.

The other machines don't do anything with this shortcut, despite all of the machines reporting that they are fully updated, and all are running Windows 11. This suggests there is another factor at work with the shortcut key being global, but I have no idea what it might be. Does closing Edge fix the problem for you?
