Is there anyway to disable Win+I shortcut?

Hi,

I have a faulty keyboard and I am unable to have it repaired immediately. I problem is that it keeps opening Settings due to the Win+I shortcut being triggered. This is very annoying when you're trying to get work done! Using an external keyboard doesn't seem to help much. I have previously had such problems but it went away on it's own. I have tried disabling Win hotkeys using Group Policy editor, however it does not seem to affect the Win+I shortcut. Is there any way to disable this?

Thank you

Hi PratyushN,

I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

You can use PowerToys to disable this shortcut, install it from the Microsoft Store:

https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/XP89DCG...

After installing PowerToys, open it, go to Keyboard Manager > Remap a shortcut > Press the "+" button > Under "Physical Shortcut" press "Type" and press the shortcut you want to disable, under "Mapped to", select "Disable" in the dropdown list (first option) > Press OK to save the changes
