Windows 10 Keyboard Shortcut to Calculator?
On all my Windows PCs I do a 'Shortcut key' for calculator to open with Ctrl+Shift+C:
I can't figure out how to do it on Windows 10. There are no right-click properties.

I have the Logitech K520 keyboard that has an individual calculator button on the top right corner. As I do not have any Logitech drivers installed, there must be a default shortcut.

Option 1
- File Explorer, type this (shell shortcut) in location bar
shell:AppsFolder, right-click Calculator, Create shorcut, Yes - Right-click new Calculator shortcut on Desktop, Properties, there is our Shortcut key field/entry!
Option 2
- Go to %WinDir%System32, right-click
calc.exe, Create Shortcut, Yes. Then step 2 above
If I placed the shortcut in %WinDir%System or Documents it seemingly wouldn't work!? It was flakey even moving back to Desktop, but after I set the shortcut to something else, hit Apply, then back to Ctrl+Shift+C it'd work :P

First, download and install AutoHotkey e.g. from autohotkey.com Then, create a new text file (e. g. "calc.ahk") and place the above script in it. Finally, run the script. You can read more about hotkeys here: autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm

With Windows 10 you can just simply pull the calculator icon from the Windows menu to your desktop, right click it and then select properties. The window that opens should allow you to add a hotkey.
