Windows 11 doesn’t have a dedicated, user-friendly “New Hotkey” wizard, but it offers several powerful ways to launch apps, folders, or scripts with keyboard shortcuts. The methods work reliably, though discoverability remains a weak point. How it works: Create a shortcut to any app, file, or folder, then assign a key combination in its Properties.
