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? |

So I have the issue on my home machine but not my work machine:
OS version at home: 26100.6584 with Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.234.0
My edge version is: Version 140.0.3485.81 (Official build) (64-bit) |

Identical Windows 11 version numbers, and after prodding Edge, an identical version number there as well. Rebooting makes no difference. I am not seeing anything obvious in the Edge or Visual Search settings either to explain this difference.
Alt-Shift-S is only being grabbed when Edge has focus.
Just to make sure we are doing a similar test, can you try testing with "notepad" running, and Visual Studio closed. I am wondering if the solution or files you are working with in Visual Studio might be calling on Edge, and thus somehow activating this keyboard shortcut in a different program.
There are obviously other people running into this, but so far, I cannot trigger / reproduce it here. |

I also reproduced this problem: I have to kill all the instances of msedge.exe so that Alt+Shift+S works in Visual Studio.
If edge is running (no focus needed), the keyboard shortcut does not work.
Windows 11: Version 10.0.26100 Build 26100
Edge: Version 140.0.3485.81 (Official build) (64-bit)
