    Win+X vs Start


    Comments welcome Win+X offers some different choices than the Power button on Start. They are the same, except Win+X has Sign out... Power button has Lock.Remember, whilst comparing, Lock is Win+L and Sign out is Win+X+i ; so, neither is, actually, 'lost'NB: The OS is doing the translucency. Cheers,Drew

    How to disable Win+L in Windows 10?

    As far as I know, there is no mean to disable only one Win+X keyboard shortcut.

    What I can suggest is to disable completely Win+X hotkeys:

    1. Type regedit in RUN or Start search box and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor.
    2. Now go to following key:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
    3. In right-side pane, create a new DWORD NoWinKeys and set its value to 1

    1. Close Registry Editor and restart your system. After reboot, all Win+X hotkeys will be turned off in your system.

    To re-enable them, delete the DWORD NoWinKeys created in step 3.

    Win Iphone X popup in Firefox - how to remove?

    adwcleaner and malwarebytes are good programs at removal.

    https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove...-won-iphone-x/

    Is the pop up in the link above what you are getting?


    It suggests using control panel, which you can access by clicking start and typing control panel.

    I also use start > settings > apps > then sort the list by install date instead of names. Delete the programs you recently installed.
