I was using Win + Ctrl + S to launch one of my apps, but after last windows 10 update this is linked with some sound control wizard. It even can't start and launches this:
Is there any way to disable this using registry/gpedit/settings. Don't want to install some other app just to change one keyboard shortcut.
Best Answer
I successfully disabled this windows 10 shortcut using this guide.
Notice: using this method will disable ALL windows hotkeys that include the windows key and
s
. Unfortunately, as far as I know there's no way to disable a single hotkey combination.Basically, open the registry editor, and just add a new registry key at this location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
name the new key
DisabledHotkeys
and give it the valueS
.Reboot your system, and the hotkey will be disabled.
Obligatory warning: Don't touch the registry editor if you don't know what you're doing. It's for advanced users, and using it incorrectly can cause major issues. Use at your own risk.
