Prevent shift + alt + L from causing TouchPad Driver Diagnos

Post by jmt356 »

Windows has been displaying the following message via a pop-up window:
TouchPad Driver Diagnostics
Diagnostic information saved in file “C:\Users\[location].log”
Show file in folder?

The file that is saved is a lengthy text file that contains my system information along with lengthy codes.

After some investigation, it appears that the message pops up whenever I press the combination shift + alt + L, which is the combination to set the text direction in Word to be left-aligned.

Is it possible to disable the shortcut from causing the TouchPad Driver Diagnostics pop-up to appear?
Regards,

JMT

The keyboard shortcut for Left-align in Word is Ctrl+L, not Shift+Alt+L.
Shift+Alt+L is assigned to OutlineShowFirstLine, i.e. a toggle to display only the first line of each paragraph in Outline view. or all lines.
Unless you reassigned this keyboard combination of course.

See TouchPad Driver Diagnostic Pop-up for a registry hack to disable the touchpad diagnostic keyboard shortcuts.

shift + alt + L is the shortcut to change the text direction to left-to-right in the paragraph dialogue box.

I want to avoid touching the registry if possible. Are there any other solutions?

No, I don't think so.
