You’ll need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
Once you’ve disabled Control Shift Qq, you’ll no longer be able to open Cortana by pressing the Control, Shift, and Q keys. However, you can still access Cortana by clicking on the Cortana icon in the taskbar or by saying “Hey Cortana.” If you ever decide that you want to re-enable the Control Shift Qq shortcut, simply follow the steps above and check the box next to the “Enable keyboard shortcut” option.
