You're playing your favorite game, but suddenly you're back in the Windows desktop because you accidentally pressed the Windows keys? 😭

It happened to me all the time when playing Overcooked! 2; that's why I created this app.

It's very simple and works with any game (Fortnite, Overwatch, WoW, Dota 2, CSGO, etc.).

## How to disable Windows keys?

There are other ways to disable the Windows keys on your keyboard:

* Edit the scancode map on the registry

* Change the Group Policy

* Remap keys with [SharpKeys](https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys)

* Write a script for [AutoHotKey](https://www.autohotkey.com/)

* Download a shady utility from an untrusted source

This app offers a straightforward and reliable alternative to disable Windows keys.

## How to use this app?

It could not be easier:

* Open the app to disable the Windows keys.

* Close the app to re-enable them.

It's so simple **my mom could use it!**  👵

## Features

* Dead simple

* Doesn't try to be smart

* No fancy or useless feature

* Tiny footprint

* Works on Windows 7, 8, and 10

* Self-contained, nothing else to download

* Perfect for games

* Translated in several languages

* Signed binary files for more security

* Source code available

## How to download?

You can get this app for free by compiling it from the source code.

Alternatively, you can [purchase the binary version for just 1€](https://payhip.com/b/T6si).  

The executable is signed with my personal certificate, so you know it hasn't been tampered.
