How to disable Win key while gaming so Windows does not kill me?

Is there a way to disable the WIN-keys, while I'm in a full-screen game?

Try WinKill:

Sits in the systray, click the icon to toggle the windows key on/off.

You could also consider getting yourself a gaming keyboard. Some of these (for example in the Logitech G series) come with physical switches to turn the windows key on/off. Saves alt-tabbing out of the game to do this.

• Install AutoHotKey
• Edit to add your games and run this script DisableWinKey.ahk

#If WinActive("Last Epoch") or WinActive("Path of Exile") or WinActive("Starcraft II")

RWIN::

Alternatively look for a way to detect fullscreen apps in AutoHotkey, maybe like this detect-fullscreen question

The best way, in my opinion, is to get an older keyboard WITHOUT windows keys (something from before WIN95 era) and a USB to PS2 adapter.
