Disable the Windows key - SgtMudd-AS- - 05-26-2025 Ever hit the Windows key by accident while in a game and the menu pops up or closes your game? Well, I do all the time because my push-to-talk for voice chat is right next to it. Download Microsoft Power Toys from GitHub HERE Install it and go to Keyboard Manager > Remap a key Select: your Win key Send To: Disable (Use the drop down menu under Send key/Shortcut to select Disable) Hit OK (If a warning pops up, select 'Continue anyway') Now your Win key is disabled while Power Toys is loaded and active! Since I use the Win key when I'm not gaming, I changed the setting for 'Run at startup' (Under the 'General' menu selection) to 'Off' and only start Power Toys when I'm gaming. Enjoy!
