A tiny utility that lets you turn off the left, right, or both Windows keys with a single click.
No registry edits, no scripts, no hacks — just run it and play without interruptions. 🎮
If you’ve ever hit the Windows key by mistake in the middle of a match, you know the pain.
This tool was built exactly for that reason: to avoid accidental desktop jumps while gaming or working.
- 🚫 Disable left, right, or both Windows keys
- 🖱️ Super simple interface — no setup needed
- 🎮 Perfect for gaming sessions (works with all games)
- 💾 Lightweight & portable (no installer)
- 🖥️ Tested on Windows 11… and I guess it should work on older versions too
- Launch the app.
- Select which Windows key(s) you want to disable.
- Done — play without worrying about accidental presses.
- Close the app to restore normal behavior.

Each release contains the following in the Assets section:
WinKeySwitcher-<version>-win-x64-sc.exe→ 64-bit self-contained build (includes .NET runtime)WinKeySwitcher-<version>-win-x64-fdd.exe→ 64-bit framework-dependent build (requires .NET 9 installed)
- ✅ If you’re not sure → grab the 64-bit self-contained (
-x64-sc.exe) — it works everywhere without extra dependencies. - The FDD (framework-dependent) build is a smaller download but requires that you already have the .NET 9 runtime installed on your system.
- Use x64 builds on 64-bit Windows (recomended).
- Use x86 builds only if you specifically need 32-bit.
After downloading, you can verify that the executable is authentic and hasn’t been tampered with.
On each release page, GitHub shows a SHA-256 checksum for every file (click the Copy SHA256 button).
Windows (PowerShell):
Get-FileHash .\WinKeySwitcher-<version>-win-<platform>-<cs/fdd>.exe -Algorithm SHA256
# <version> & <platform> & <sc/fdd> → take these parts exactly as they appear in the downloaded file name
# The output hash must match the value you copied from the GitHub release page.This project is released under the MIT License.
