    How to disable a hotkey combination

    In answer to your question, it wasn't one of the in-built hotkeys. As I mentioned in my question, the Shift V combination become associated as some kind of hotkey combination, and my computer did strange things whenever I tried to type my last name, which
    starts with a V.

    I tried your suggested solution. In Windows 10, if you click on the screen, "Graphics Options" is not one of the options that shows up.

    I did find a solution: by using System Restore I was able to go back to a time before the problem began, and that took care of the problem.

    Windows 10 win hotkey

    Hi,

    Hi,

    Thanks for posting your query to Microsoft forum. I will certainly help you with this.

    Generally WIN key is used to quickly access Start Menu or Start Screen in Windows. But you can also use WIN key in combination with another key to access other programs or features in Windows

    Do you want to Disable WIN+ hotkeys or Disable WIN key completely?

    To disable WIN+ hotkeys, follow the methods:

    METHOD 1: Using Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc)

    • Press Windows key on the keyboard.
    • Type gpedit.msc in RUN or Start search box and press Enter. It'll open
      Group Policy Editor.
    • Now go to: User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows/File Explorer
    • In right-side pane, look for "Turn off Windows+X hotkeys" option.
    • The option would be set to Not Configured. Double-click on it and set it to
      Enabled

    Note :To re-enable the hotkeys in feature, again set the "Turn off Windows+X hotkeys" option to
    Not Configured.

    METHOD 2: Using Registry Editor (regedit)

    Important: This method 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

    • 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
    • In right-side pane, create a new DWORD NoWinKeys and set its value to
      1
    • Close Registry Editor and restart your system. After reboot the WIN+ hotkeys will be turned off in your system.
    Note :To re-enable WIN+ hotkeys in future, delete the DWORD
    NoWinKeys created in step 3.

    Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to help you further.
