  3. How to disable a specific keyboard shortcut

    Does anyone have a solution to this issue, besides disabling all keyboard shortcuts? Would that also disable, like, Ctrl-C? This is ridiculous, Microsoft!

    How to disable a specific keyboard shortcut

    Hi Pedro,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    We understand how you feel about the situation. We're sorry for the trouble.

    Ideally disabling specific shortcut key is not possible. You can disable the whole Windows+ shortcut keys.

    To do so:


    • Type regedit in RUN or Start search box and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor.

    • 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.

    4. Close Registry Editor and restart your system. After reboot the WIN+ hotkeys will be turned off in your system.

    PS: To re-enable WIN+ hotkeys in future, delete the DWORD
    NoWinKeys created in step 3.

    Registry disclaimer

    To do so: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For
    added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft
    Knowledge Base:

    How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/

    If the issue still persists, you can use some other third party software tool to disable.

    THIRD PARTY DISCLAIMER

    Using Third Party Software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Third Party Software can be solved. Using
    Third Party Software is at your own risk.

    Hope this helps. Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

    Thanks.
