The only exception is a change in the layout of the language, the combination for this action can be changed, but only to the one offered by the system. In this case, you can create new shortcut keys to run certain programs, if the buttons that the user wants to use for this purpose are not occupied by system combinations. The full list of keyboard shortcuts for quick access, existing in Windows by default, is published on the official Microsoft website.

What to do if the keys change the value themselves
If the system itself has changed the values for some keys, the reason for the incident may be as follows:
- the system or registry was accidentally amended by the user. Perhaps there was some kind of notification in which it was proposed to change the settings, and you accidentally issued permission for this action;
- on the computer, a virus started, which changed the values of the buttons, pursuing their goals. Check your computer for viruses and delete them if they were found;
- the system crashed, which led to a failure of the keyboard settings or the keyboard itself was out of order. You can check this by connecting it to another computer.
To get rid of this problem, if it was not caused by a physical failure of the keyboard, you can use the above-described third-party programs. Run them and, using the instructions, reset the keyboard settings to default values or set the parameters for each button manually.
You can change the values for the buttons on the keyboard using third-party programs. Using them, you can disable extra keys so that they do not interfere with fast typing. Changing shortcuts is done through the system settings, and setting new combinations through the properties of the shortcut.
