    How to disable windows shortcut keys without disabling windows key?


    I don't like any (windowskey+anykey) keyboard shortcuts and I like to use my own ones for some apps. Whenever I missclick Winkey without adding additional key WindowsMenu toggles which irritates me.

    How to disable hot keys?

    Hi,

    Hot keys usually provides shortcut access to the Start button or other Windows functions. Sometimes we want to disable some of them if they interfere with us. To disable hotkeys in Windows 10, you may follow the steps below:

    • Type gpedit in the Search and then click Edit group policy. (This will open
      Local Group Policy Editor).
    • Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > File Explorer. In the right-side pane, look for Turn off Windows + X hotkeys and double click on it.
    • Check Disabled and click OK.
    • Restart the computer to make the settings take effect.

    Do get back to us if you need further assistance.
