Windows 10: Accidental keyboard shortcuts - how to disable

I have a Windows 11. I accidentally brushed over the keyboard with my arm and pushed a lot of buttons at once - not hard and none are stuck. However, noe everytime I press either . or , the simple buttons alone without ctrl or windows logo key, it activates the search function of the window and the text I write is continued in the search bar. Haven't found a way to see the shortcuts / hotkeys on the keyboard is or how to deactivate this. Thank you for your help

Disabling laptop keyboard

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

As per the description. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

I suggest you follow the steps below and check if that helps:

• Press Windows + X and select
  Device Manager from the list.
• Find Keyboards in the list of devices and click the arrow to expand it.
  
• Right-click on the internal keyboard and click Disable. If there is no Disable option listed, click
  Uninstall.
• Click File>Exit. Your laptop’s internal keyboard should now be disabled.

Note: If you had to choose Uninstall instead of Disable in step 4, the keyboard will be automatically detected and re-installed if you ever have the Device Manager scan for new hardware for some reason. If that happens you’ll need to repeat this procedure
in order to uninstall it again.

Hope the information helps. Please let us know if the issue persist and we will be happy to assist you further.

 

Disable Windows 10 keyboard shortcuts

I want to turn off all Windows 10 keyboard shortcuts. Following others' suggestions, I right-clicked on the Desktop and followed the menu through graphics options to hotkeys and chose "Disable". However this hasn't helped. At least some remain. One
example among many: {WindowsKey + I} still opens Settings. How can I disable this and all other Windows shortcut keys?
