Turn off Windows+X hotkeys.
Keyboards with a Windows key provide users with shortcuts to common shell features. For example, pressing the keyboard sequence Windows+R opens the Run dialog box; pressing Windows+E starts File Explorer. By using this setting, you can disable these Windows+X shortcut keys.
If you enable this setting, the Windows+X shortcut keys are unavailable.
If you disable or do not configure this setting, the Windows+X shortcut keys are available.
