  2. Windows key+Home shortcut doesn´t work anymore - How to restore?

    Background:

    I did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro (1909) on my HP Z440 Workstation and did notice that Win+Home don´t work anym****0 Home (1909) to test if it has been removed from 1909 but Win+Home do work on my laptop. My lapt****.

    So, i decided to d****909) on my HP Workstation. Then i tested to open Edge at fullscreen and then launch Notepad and Win+Home does not work this time either. The expected result would have been that since Notepad was the active window a Win+Home should
    have minimized Edge. This test was done directly after the install, so no other third party apps had been installed.

    According to this list updated on Jan 8 2020 Win+Home should work: Keyboard shortcuts in Windows

    Question:

    How do i get Win+Home back?

    I have used it a lot during the years and miss it...

    Misc.

    • I have tested another keyboard t****n+H**** other keyboard shortcuts work as expected, such as Win+X, Win+E, Win+R, Win+D, Win+D, Win+M, etc, etc.

    OS: Windows 10 Pro, 1909, 18363.592

    How to disable Win+L in Windows 10?

    As far as I know, there is no mean to disable only one Win+X keyboard shortcut.

    What I can suggest is to disable completely Win+X hotkeys:

    1. Type regedit in RUN or Start search box and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor.
    2. Now go to following key:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
    3. In right-side pane, create a new DWORD NoWinKeys and set its value to 1

    1. Close Registry Editor and restart your system. After reboot, all Win+X hotkeys will be turned off in your system.

    To re-enable them, delete the DWORD NoWinKeys created in step 3.
