    How to disable a keyboard shortcut which is restarting my PC?


    Hello!

    Here's what's happening. I'm using Classic Shell for the classic look of my Start button. When I want to open Paintbrush I press on the Start button, then enter pbrush (very quickly) in the Search field and press Enter. Quite often this results in restarting my PC instead of opening up Paintbrush.
    I suspect I do it too fast and instead trigger a keyboard shortcut for rebooting the PC. How could I disable that shortcut? It's very distracting when PC reboots like that and closes all the programs I have opened and whatnot.
    Thanks in advance!

    You have already checked Classic Shell's built-in hotkeys? Let us know if you find anything that could be the culprit.

    As I recall Paintbrush was included on my former MacBook Pro from mid-2010. In Windows I use Paint, also called MSPaint. Pressing the Start button and typing pbru brings up a Search suggestion of Paint.

    Hey, I've found this on the Classic Shell forums, I hope this solved my problem (hasn't happened since):
