I actually put in an IT ticket over it today right after I made that comment, because I accidentally hit that goddamn key again while typing up an email.
For context, this company takes security extremely seriously. Just a few months before I started, they had recovered from a major ransomware attack, due to some moron that downloaded an attachment from the wrong email. They don’t even allow flash drives, except for Apricorn encrypted drives, but those you have to sign out directly from IT and the serial number is tracked. Plus the usual KnowBe4 simulations, regular training, etc…
So IT coming back with that response was a pretty big surprise to me 😅
I’d imagine you can run some kind of custom script to disable or reassign the key, similar to what ahk does.

IT came back with - and I shit you not - “Open the Microsoft store and install Microsoft PowerToys”
