In Windows 10 the shortcut gets registered before explorer.exe itself registers Win+S for the Windows default search. In Windows 11 EverythingToolbar gets launched after explorer.exe has already been started so Win+S will already be in use.
This would probably require changes to how the shortcut gets registered.
I saw this issue, was upset at the lack of solution, so made a hacky one myself.
Using Powertoys Keyboard Manager, redirect the win
+s
shortcut to an identifiable, but unique key, like F24:
Then, create an AHK script that listens for that key, and opens EverythingToolbar:
#Requires AutoHotkey >=2.0
#SingleInstance Force
F24:: run "C:\Program Files (x86)\EverythingToolbar\EverythingToolbar.Launcher.exe"
+F24:: Send "{PrintScreen}" ; the powertoys bind unbinds win+shift+s, so rebind it back to snipping tool
The PowerToys rebind breaks win
+shift
+s
, to fix this, the AHK script sends PrtSc
when shift is held. We can then bind that back to Snipping Tool by going to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard
and enabling "Use the Print screen key to open Snipping Tool"
To make sure the AHK script is always running:
Task Scheduler
, Action > Create Basic Taskpath to your AHK script
you don't need those. https://github.com/undergroundwires/privacy.sexy/issues/343#issuecomment-2056089375 this all you need

Additional Information
I Know "Win + S" is the default for Windows Default Search.. (but as I saw in anotoher Issue it's intendet that you can set Win Q or Win S) In the Older versions it worked (0.7.4.0) well it was the Windows 10 Taskbar version :(
Oh and the new Version on the Win 11 Taskbar.. Ich liebe dich/euch!! Thank u so much for this Update 😊
