I want to disable Windows + L key on Windows10 LTSC but still want to have the Lock option on the start menu

Question

Is there an option or a setting on Windows 10 LTSC that disables Windows+L key but still have the Lock option on the start menu to lock it manually ? I can disable Win+L key using GPO and regedit but it completely disables the Lock key and there is no way to lock the computer.

To supplement Sébastien VALSEMEY's answer, actually there is a way to do that :)

go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, if there is no System, create one

create a 32bit DWORD, name it DisableLockWorkstation

set the value of DisableLockWorkstation to 1

it will take effect immediately

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

"DisableLockWorkstation"=dword:00000001

And see if it helps,

Thank you
