Most gamers have had issues with the Win key on their keyboards at least once, as it is very easy to press it by accident and minimize your game inadvertently at the worst possible time. Some keyboards even allow you to disable it while gaming, but most don’t offer this feature.
WinKill is a very simple, open-source application that makes it possible to disable the Win key with a single mouse click. It runs in the system tray and provides you with possibly the easiest way to block this potentially problematic key.
After launching the application, a new icon will be displayed in the system tray area. In order to disable the Win key, you only have to click the icon once. The appearance of the icon also changes to help you determine whether the key is blocked or not.
As long as it is disabled, any input from the Windows key will be ignored, something that gamers, in particular, should find to be very useful.
WinKill does not require you to install anything on your computer, which is to be expected given the simplicity of the program. You can deploy it instantly, and it doesn’t leave any traces behind after being deleted.
Users looking for a simple, no-nonsense way to disable the Win key while gaming can definitely take advantage of this utility, and the fact that it is so lightweight is certainly a plus.
WinKill is a straightforward program that does exactly what the description says – it allows you to disable the Win key easily by just clicking a system tray icon, providing you with a way to effortlessly block unwanted input while gaming.
