  1. Can I disable Win-Tab? (or learn to escape from it quickly?)


    I would appreciate any advice (especially if it's fairly easy to execute).

    I have no use for Win-Tab in Windows 10. However, I often hit it by accident because it's a keyboard shortcut I always use on my Mac.

    I get really disoriented after I hit Win-Tab, to the point where I can barely describe what happens. (e.g., Usually, I can't see any change right after I hit it, but then when I start clicking Windows with my mouse, the wrong window comes to the front. Sometimes, when I hit Win-Tab one or two more times, I get a peek at the Virtual Desktop functionality, and then after trying a couple more keys -- Alt-Tab, ESC, maybe Win-Tab again -- I'm finally back to normal.)

    I can never escape from the situation quickly.

    I'd like to do one of these, listed in order of desireability:


    1. Disable Win-Tab (using official Settings)


    2. Learn to escape from it quickly


    3. Edit the Registry


    4. Install some app like Autohotkey, and have that running all the time.

    Any recommendations?

    Thanks in advance.

    Command line/tab

    OK, thanks!
    (I assume maybe this was suggested before...)
    May I ask, what exactly does such a routine have in mind - why look at tabs 1, then 2, then quickly close the app?

  4. Can I disable Win-Tab? (or learn to escape from it quickly?)

    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.
