    How do i disable keyboard shortcuts?

    Hi,

    Thank you for being a part of Windows 10.

    If you are referring to the shortcuts within the game, then you have to go into the settings of the game and make the shortcuts changed. If you want to change the language of the keyboard, then I would suggest you to try the steps from the following link:

    Change your language or keyboard

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other issues with Windows in future.
