Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
is the address I was told to go into (googled it) and insert new Dword 'NoWinKeys' and give value of 1 in Hex. No problem, did it first time, but key still active.
Very vexing as, when in a game, and accidentally hit Start key when heading for Alt does not crash game but puts me on desktop.
I assume there is another way, without removing button
Keyboard is a fav of mine MS Multimedia 1.01a

That's an old MS keyboard, but I'll bet if you can find the software (and driver) for it, there's a way to do it there. The original driver probably wouldn't work with Win11 anyway. This is for Win10 and the regedit method is in the list, but you can try the other methods.
