Thank you for your reply.

Please also note bug 141776; this one also has the side-effect of the Start
Centre shortuts also requiring Alt to be pressed, which is hugely
counter-intuitive. In Windows, only the top-level menu accelerators need Alt;
everything else works with just the accelerator key. It is not a bug, it's a
feature.
