You're playing your favorite game, but suddenly you're back in the Windows desktop because you accidentally pressed the Windows keys? 😭

It happened to me all the time when playing Overcooked! 2; that's why I created this app. It's very simple and works with any game (Fortnite, Overwatch, WoW, Dota 2, CSGO, etc.).

There are other ways to disable the Windows keys on your keyboard:

  • Edit the scancode map on the registry
  • Change the Group Policy
  • Remap keys with SharpKeys
  • Write a script for AutoHotKey

This app offers a straightforward and reliable alternative to disable Windows keys.
