    One of the computers running windows 10 in the office has updated itself to the latest feature update.

    Unfortunately it seems that Microsoft have taken the opportunity to use Win+Ctrl+S to toggle speech recognition with no way to change or turn this off.

    Obviously this interferes with vDos keys which we use to spool our dos print jobs. Is there any way of changing this key combination?

      I was aware of that. Didn’t think SPOOL would be actually used now there is a TIO= option.

      Thought about continuing printing (spooling) as long the printer selection dialog was open. But that had some drawbacks.
      So I settled (at that moment I thought temporary) for Ctrl+S. Only drawback, that won’t work if your program needs Ctrl+S itself, but what are the odds for such a combination? So I let it be (Ctrl+S), to have a further look at it later on. Forgot all about that…

      So try Ctrl+S, that should work.
