How do I disable these strange contrast hotkeys?

2

When I press Alt+Shift and Ctrl+Alt my screen changes contrast/. Ctrl+Alt sets it to "Default" while Alt+Shift cycles between "Normal", "Light", "Contrast", "Bright", "Vivid", "Intense", "Dimmed", and "Opaque".

I have no idea what caused these hotkeys to start behaving this way, it's been this way for as long as I can remember. I just can't stand the behavior any longer and want to make it stop. Any ideas?

Check your graphics card/video adapter options for disabling hotkeys. – Karan – 2013-01-06T02:57:02.093

I looked in the NVIDIA Control Panel for hotkey settings and couldn't find anything. – Jeremy Privett – 2013-01-06T03:00:02.783

It's not a default Windows setting, so has to be something extraneous like (driver) software. – Karan – 2013-01-06T03:01:35.237

This issue was caused by a program called "Game Companion" which I had previously used to force games that didn't natively support borderless windowed mode into that display configuration. It was running at startup and had hotkeys for gamma adjustment.
