Is there a way to disable key strokes using the Windows key? I use them for AutoHotKey and it conflicts causing problems in Win81.

Thanks,
Tony

In Settings -> Controls tab (after checking "Show all settings"), set "Windows Key opens" to Nothing.

Is there another way? I have done that, but it appears Classic Shell is still interpreting Win+key. For example, I have AutoHotKey to send a string that starts with a capital M. With Classic Shell not loaded, when I do a Win-m, that string is sent as expected. But when I have Classic Shell loaded, and with the Windows key set to nothing, Win-m takes me to the Metro interface. If I exit Classic Shell and do Win-m again, it just sends the string. Same with Win-t that should send a string that starts with a capital t.

Try setting Shift+Win to nothing as well.

Disabling Shift-Win may have solved the problem. I will keep watching to see if it happens again.
Thanks for your help.
