Is there any way to disable the Winkey+Up and Winkey+Down hotkeys?

I do not want to disable the Windows Key entirely. I quite like some of the default hotkeys that use it, such as Winkey+R.

I have already turned off "Snap Windows" in Settings-> System -> Multitasking. However, this has only disabled the Winkey+Left and Winkey+Right hotkeys.

I've been trying to use AutoHotKey to accomplish this, but it does not work. For example, if I use

#G::send,^!+G

When I press Win + G that still briefly brings up the window that that hotkey is tied to by default. Those windows then close, and a new Office window opens with a message "We've run into an error."

There are two programs that can help you to turn off specific Windows hotkeys, they are SharpKeys and AutoHotkey.

SharpKeys allow you to turn off a specific hotkey or adjust it to another key as you want. Meanwhile, AutoHotKey will help you to turn off a specific hotkey by adding a script.

Take a look at the following article:
