    Can't disable WIN+L


    Hi,

    I'm trying to disable Win+l combination to re-assign that keybind with something else. I don't mind if the user can lock their PC another way but just not via that keybind.

    I have added in
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

    DisableLockWorkstation = 1

    Yet I can still lock, any ideas why?

    Thanks
      My Computer

    Any chance it needs to be done for all identities/user accounts?
