Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A

1. Create a Desktop Shortcut for Quick Assist:

• Right-click on an empty area of your desktop.
• Navigate to New > Shortcut.
• In the location field, type: %windir%\system32\quickassist.exe.
• Click Next, then provide a name for the shortcut (e.g., "Quick Assist").
• Click Finish.

2. Assign a Keyboard Shortcut to the Quick Assist Shortcut:

• Right-click the newly created "Quick Assist" shortcut on your desktop.
• Select Properties.
• In the Shortcut tab, locate the Shortcut key field.
• Click on the field and press the key combination you wish to assign (e.g., Ctrl + Alt + Q).
• Click Apply, then OK.

Now, pressing your chosen key combination will launch Quick Assist.
