I've noticed certain scripts, registry changes, and adjustments that might let you turn off the Windows key on your keyboard. But some warn that these could interfere with programs like Battle Eye, which might treat such actions as cheating. I don’t have the ability in my KB to disable the key permanently, nor do I own any AORUS or brand PC software that includes this feature. How can I quickly turn off the Windows key without restarting each time? Have you experienced issues with scripts like this before? Any ideas would be helpful.

Autohotkey functions excellently here. Set up Autohotkey, then run the script provided: disable left mouse key, disable right mouse button, or use the executable I prepared. To re-enable Windows keys, locate the green "H" icon in the system tray and click it to exit. winkey.exe

Is there a special key on your keyboard resembling the manufacturer's logo, similar to a Windows key lock feature? When you press it with the Windows key, it unlocks, and double pressing turns it off.

I'll test it today and report back on what worked. This Logitech K375 features a large FN key on the right side of the spacebar and includes various functions, though I haven't explored them yet. I'll update you soon.
