Windows 10: I want to disable the menu activation via the Alt key

This feature, the menu activation via the Alt key is super annoying, unusable and always interferes with normal work. I'm using Adobe software, and there are some functions that work with the pressed Alt key. For example zooming or when activating alternate functions, the Alt key must be pressed and need to be hold. When releasing, windows activates the menu. I don't need this at all, I never used the menu activation via the Alt key. There is the F10 for activate the menu.

Disable activating menu with Alt

The Alt for menu is super annoying for lots of applications, especially in the case of Adobe apps.

Is there a method that permanently disables the Alt behavior? I don't care about menus, or how useful the Alt can be. I just want it permanently disabled for all applications.
