Explorer doesn’t even get sent a message when you press these key combinations. It cuts off the Office key hotkeys entirely. This solution works perfectly, and allows the actual Office key or emulated Hyper key to use every shortcut on the keyboard with no risk of opening random Microsoft apps. This deregisters the hotkeys in the process, which allows them to be used by other programs. When Explorer starts back up, it tries to register the Office key hotkeys like normal but is blocked because our program already registered them. It only tries to do this on startup, so all we have to do is wait a few seconds and then exit the program. It then registers each Office-key related hotkey we want to disable and restarts Explorer. So this solution works like this: The Office-key fixing program closes Explorer, which frees up the hotkeys to be overwritten. And if you restarted Explorer, it would reregister the hotkeys when it starts back up. Unfortunately, closing Explorer isn’t a very viable solution, as you’d be stuck without a usable computer. This means if you can close the program that registered the hotkeys, you can disable them. However, when programs exit, they automatically deregister their hotkeys.
