有时，在计算机键盘(computer keyboard)上打字时，您可能会发现自己处于不断打字或点击错误键的情况。这可能是因为你习惯的工作环境发生了变化，或者仅仅是因为你没有练习。计算机上的文书操作已经进步了很多，在重复的打字错误上浪费不必要的时间可能会非常令人沮丧。在这种情况下，您可能想完全禁用该特定键的功能，这样即使您不小心点击了它们，也不会影响您的工作。今天，我们将教您如何在 Windows 11/10 中禁用您选择的键盘按键(disable a keyboard key)。
虽然这对你们中的一些人来说似乎是一个牵强的想法，但事实并非如此。您所需要做的就是下载Windows PowerToys，只需点击几下即可。
Windows 11/10中禁用特定键盘键
在我们开始本教程之前，您必须熟悉您将要使用的工具。我们将使用键盘管理器(Keyboard Manager)，它是Microsoft PowerToys捆绑包的一部分。PowerToys是Microsoft开发的一个非常有用的系统实用程序包，可帮助其用户在Windows体验的各个方面。
这里的过程非常简单。这是您需要做的：
首先，您必须在计算机上下载、安装和启动 PowerKeys(download, install and launch the PowerKeys)应用程序。如果您无法在任何地方找到它的图标，您也可以从任务栏(Taskbar)启动它。
打开PowerToys窗口后，单击设置。这将带您进入主应用程序界面。
从左侧可用选项列表中，单击键盘管理器(Keyboard Manager)。在这里，确保键盘管理器(Keyboard Manager)已启用。在重新映射(Remap)键盘选项下，单击重新映射(Remap)键。
这将打开一个新窗口。要禁用键的功能，请单击“+”图标。由于此实用程序通常用于重新映射键，因此您现在可以选择一个键以及您希望该键的功能重新映射到的结果输出。为了选择一个键，只需在键盘上键入它。
在这种情况下，我们将禁用Pg Dn ( Page Down ) 键。您可以选择从此处限制您喜欢的任何键的操作，无论是Alphabet、数字还是桌面键盘键之一，如Ctrl、 alt 等）
选择要禁用的键（对我们来说是Page Down），然后从Mapped : 下拉列表中选择Undefined。如果您在从可能的钥匙迷宫中找到选项时遇到困难，只需键入字母“U”和“N”，它就会出现。
按“确定”保存(Save)这些设置并确认弹出的警告消息。您现在已成功禁用您选择的键的功能。如果要撤消此移动，只需单击垃圾箱(Trash)图标，然后再次按确定。
您可以使用“重新映射快捷方式(Remap a shortcut)”选项并按照与上述相同的步骤来禁用Windows键盘快捷方式。
使用 SharpKeys 是另一种选择
如果您正在寻找适用于所有版本的Windows而不仅仅是Windows 11/10 的解决方案，您可以尝试使用SharpKeys。它提供与 PowerToys 的键盘管理器相同的服务，但我觉得它的 UI 交互性较差。
KeyTweak是另一个可以帮助您禁用或重新映射键的工具。
我希望您现在能够轻松禁用您选择的键盘键或快捷键。因此，您可以禁用卡住的键(stuck key)、Home、Insert、Windows、F1 Help或(F1 Help)Windows 11/10中的任何其他键。

How to disable a specific Keyboard Key in Windows 1011/
Sometimes, while typing on a computer keyboard, you may find yourself in a situation where you are constantly typing or clicking on the wrong key. It may be because of a change in the environment you’re used to working in, or simply because you’re out of practice. Clerical operations on a computer have advanced a lot and wasting needless time on repeated typing errors can be quite frustrating. In such scenarios, you may feel like disabling the function of that particular key/keys altogether, so that even when you accidentally click on them, it won’t affect your work. Today, we will teach you how you can disable a keyboard key of your choice in Windows 11/10.
While this may seem like a far-fetched idea to some of you, it really isn’t. All it requires for you to do is download Windows PowerToys, and the answer is just a couple of clicks from there.
Disable a specific keyboard key in Windows 11/10
Before we begin with the tutorial, it is important that you familiarize yourself with the tool you’re going to use. We will be using Keyboard Manager, which is a part of the Microsoft PowerToys bundle. PowerToys is a very useful system utility package developed by Microsoft to aid its users in various aspects of their Windows experience.
The process in place here is very simple. Here is what you need to do:
First things first, you have to download, install and launch the PowerKeys application on your computer. If you’re not able to locate its icon anywhere, you can launch it from the Taskbar too.
Upon opening the PowerToys window, click on the settings. This will take you to the main application interface.
From the list of options available on the left, click on Keyboard Manager. Here, make sure that the Keyboard Manager is enabled. Under the Remap keyboard option, click on Remap a key.
This will open a new window. In order to disable a key’s functioning, click on the ‘+’ icon. Since this utility is generally used to remap a key, you will now be provided with an option to select a key and the resultant output that you want that key’s functionality to remap to. In order to select a key, just type it on your keyboard.
In this case, we will disable the Pg Dn (Page Down) key. You have the option to restrict the operation of any key you like from here, be it an Alphabet, a number, or one of the desktop keyboard keys like Ctrl, alt, etc.)
Select the key that you want to disable (for us that is Page Down) and from the Mapped: dropdown, select Undefined. If you are having difficulties locating the option from the maze of possible keys, just type the letter ‘U’ and ‘N’ and it will appear.
Save these settings by pressing ‘Ok’ and confirm the warning message that pops up. You have now successfully disabled the functionality of a key of your choice. If you want to undo this move, just click on the Trash can icon and press Ok again.
You can use the ‘Remap a shortcut‘ option and follow the same steps as taken above to disable a Windows keyboard shortcut as well.
Using SharpKeys is another option
If you’re looking for a solution that works for all versions of Windows and not just Windows 11/10, you can try using SharpKeys. It offers the same service as PowerToys’ Keyboard Manager, but I feel it has a less interactive UI.
KeyTweak is another tool that can help you disable or remap keys.
I hope that you will now be able to disable a keyboard key or shortcut of your choice with ease. You can thus disable a stuck key, Home, Insert, Windows, F1 Help, or any other key in Windows 11/10.
