I've done everything from here -> How can I determine which process owns a hotkey in Windows? and it turns out "Explorer" is using the Ctrl+Shift+T key bind. When I've terminated the task I was actually able to reopen a closed browser tab. The thing is - I can't recall ever assigning that key bind... Is it possible to remove/revert it? I would like to reopen closed tabs in Chrome/Edge etc. instead of launching some process in Explorer with that keybind. Thank you in advance!

Assuming you are on windows, you can remove the keybind from explorer by following these steps:

  • Use the Ctrl+Shift+T key combination to open the explorer.
  • Right click on the explorer icon in the taskbar, a menu will appear.
  • Right click on the program name in the menu (it will be present just above the pin/unpin button) and then left click on properties, the properties window will open.
  • Go to Shortcut tab and change the "Shortcut key" parameter value to None by pressing backspace.

  • It doesn't actually open an Explorer as per your screenshot. It opens a process that can be seen in the task manager.
