Disable the Win + Space keyboard layout swap
As far as I know, this is the only way to disable the Win + Space keyboard layout swap without disabling all other Win + XYZ shortcuts:
This is how to do it:
-
Download AHK (AutoHotkey)
-
Install AHK
-
Right-click any folder and choose New → AutoHotkey Script
-
Right-click the script and choose Edit Script
-
Replace whatever is there with this (and save):
#space::
-
Right click the script and choose Compile Script
-
Run the script by double clicking the newly created .exe file, and do a test.
Rename it to whatever you want, and store it for the next time you want to disable the Win + Space shortcut.
An additional step to make it persistent:
Copy the .exe file to the startup folder. Below I've listed the path for the folders:
Current user:
C:\Users%Username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
All users:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
