Hello,

Since I mainly use my PC for gaming, I haven't found a solution online to disable the Windows key.

In fact, the Windows pop-ups are very disruptive when I'm in the middle of a game.

The left ctrl and alt keys are used frequently.

Thank you for your help.

    Hello,

    If it works for Windows 10, it should work for Windows 11

    The simplest method I see is the registry

    Create a file with Notepad whose name ends with .REG that contains this and execute it, then restart Windows.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    "NoWinkeys"=dword:00000001
