Windows 10: Keyboard Layout Pop-Up Shortcut keys Win+Spacebar Unable to Disable

I would like some precise instructions how to disable this feature on my Windows 11 operating system please.This feature is the most annoying thing ever I have seen on an up-until-now rather excellent number of previous products. As a gamer I am faced with this pop up every 30 seconds or more due to the way I play the games, and I am not alone.I cannot so far find any "conventional operator" way to change shortcut keys. Could you direct me to the part of the Microsoft website that tells you how to do it?Could you tell me how to do it here please?

How to change the default keyboard layout shortcut.

Hi,

I would like to inform you that presently you may change the default keyboard layout by pressing
Windows key + space and I would like to inform you that it is not possible to change the keyboard shortcut for the keyboard layout.

• If you would like to create shortcut for the applications, please follow the below steps:
• Right click on the application and select properties.
• Enter a key combination in the Shortcut key field. The combination must be CTRL + ALT + a letter / number.

Hope the information helps. Please do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist you.

Thank you.

 

Keyboard keeps changing from my default!

Disable the keyboard shortcuts that have caused your problems by changing layouts inadvertently.

Settings,
Devices,
Typing,
Advanced keyboard settings,
Input language hot keys,
Advanced key settings tab,
Change key sequence,
Set Switch input language to Not assigned,
Set Switch keyboard language to Not assigned,
OK,
OK.

But there is also the WinKey+Spacebar shortcut and I have never found a way of disabling that.



A method of redirecting this key combination using PowerToys is suggested in the 30th May post by Archimedes Trajano at Disable Win+Space keyboard-layout switch - Super User
- There is a list of WinKey shortcuts in Keyboard shortcuts in Windows 10 - Windows Help
- When I was considering this issue, it seemed to me that redirecting WinKey+Spacebar to
WinKey+, {Desktop Peek}
was the least obtrusive alternative but a close second was
WinKey+Ctrl+Shift+B {wake PC}
but this does flash the screen & sound a beep.

Windows Key + Spacebar not working

Kathleen

Tried using SFC as you suggested and it went through all the steps successfully, but Windows key + Spacebar still doesn't work.

Looked at the link you gave and I see that one of the posts with a similar problem was using an HP Pavilion - same as me.

But it was the keyboard shortcut was working till the upgrade.

I've not tried Andre's suggestion yet.
