Windows Walker activates with Windows-Z

As well as the standard hotkey Ctrl-Windows, I already have another shortkey for Windows-Z which now both get triggered. Where can I remove the shortkey Win-Z for Windows Walker please?

@Rolograaf Put #MenuMaskKey vkFF anywhere in your script. (though for sanity’s sake, best at the top) The ctrl-key is the default masking key, it is sent so as to not trigger the win-startmenu.

This sets the masking key to something that’s not assigned to anything. vk07 will open the GameBar at least since January, so that’s why that advice no longer works.

This was a super helpful thread as I was having the exact same problem having mapped an AutoHotKey command to: Windows-Z. Although this solved my issue, I’d like to suggest that an enhancement is considered for WindowWalker: don’t hard-code Windows-Ctrl - allow the user to configure the Hot Key combination that makes Window Walker visible.
