I need to suppress the Win+Alt+Space shortcut in Edge on Windows 10

I need a script to suppress task switch keys "winkey+alt+space"by using a low-level keyboard hook, or anything. When in a locked down edge Kiosk mode the user can press the "Win+Alt+Space" key combination and a menu will open in the upper left hand corner causing major secrity issues. I need to disable that shortcut function. I have tried Registry entries, MS PowerToys, and AutoHotKeys and all have failed I cannot suppress all HotKeys via Group policy I need the Alt+Home to work.

Thank you

    Hi @Timothy Donovan ,

    Actually, it is "Alt+Space" that calls the menu, so you can simply disable this combination. For example, you can use AutoHotKey script:

    Alt & Space::Return

    Tested in Kiosk mode and it worked just fine.
