Win Key + E (My computer)
The shortcut Win Key + E was going to my computer with all previous versions of windows. Now it goes to home…
Does anybody know how to customize this?

I see nobody has been able to answer this. I will apologize in advance because I also have not found a way, yet, to do exactly what you want. However, I have found a workaround that is sufficient for my needs until we do find the exact answer.
I created a new shortcut on the desktop and put the following command line in it:
%windir%\explorer.exe ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
I tested it and it works the way I want: opens File Explorer to This PC instead of Home.
I unpinned the original File Explorer icon from the Task Bar and pinned the new shortcut to the Task Bar.
I placed it as the third icon from the left in the Task Bar so now I just type Win + 3 (instead of Win + E; it's physically close to the same key and sort of mnemonic ) to launch File Explorer that opens in This PC. Not perfect but better.

Here is the autohotkey script to rebind Win + E
Compile with Autohotkey#NoTrayIcon
#Persistent
#SingleInstance, Force
#e::Run, explorer.exe shell:::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
or
Use my compiled binary from HERE
Run the compiled exe file. Win + E will open This PC.
Goto Folder options>General>Open file explorer to>"Change it to "This PC"
Simple and elegant solution
