    Feedback hub


    I want to disable shortcut key Win+F (take screenshot and popup feedback hub) as I accidentally press Win+F frequently as it is quite near to Ctrl+F key which I use often. There is no way to disable Win+F so I intend to uninstall feedback hub now, may I know is it easy to reinstall feedback hub if I need it in the future?
    Thanks.

    Hi, you can disable Win F quite easily.
    Just run this little exe file I've created for you.
    See the text file (.ahk) for what's in it.

    Both are in a zip file for forum compatibility.

    After running Win F.exe , what if I want to reverse back to normal?

    What is Win F.ahk for? Not sure what does #F:: mean

    I am looking at SharpKeys to remap/disable shortcut but unable to do so.

    Thank you very much for your reply and questions.

    a. the .ahk file is the script - the 'source code'
    b. It is a tiny Autohotkey script.
    c. Install Autohotkey and you can run the .ahk file and read the help so you can understand it.
    d. the exe file is the compiled version of the .ahk file.
    e. rt click the tray icon, click Exit.

    Thank you again. Oh, and it would be nice to know if it works for you. Thank you.

    If you want to disable built-in Windows app you can do so easily from Powershell. It might look a bit daunting if you've never used the command line interface before but it's just like pointing and clicking only you type what you want to do instead of pressing things.

    Just right-click your Start Menu and then find Windows Powershell (Admin). It's important you find the one which ends with 'Admin' as what you are doing requires these privileges in order to work. Once you've done that Powershell should open up and look like a retro computer screen from a million years ago. Once this happens all you have to do is copy and paste this command into Powershell:

    Code:
    Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsFeedbackHub| Remove-AppxPackage
    Now press 'Enter' on your keyboard. It should run through a few steps. All that is happening here is it's just letting you know where it's upto in terms of running the command you entered. The command you entered is simply asking Powershell to get the package name which is called Windows Feedback Hub and then sending the result (it's called piping but we don't need to explain this here) to another command which is removing said package.

    You can run these two commands (get package and then remove package) with lots of Windows apps. You just need to know the package name, specifically, how the computer knows the package with all it's dots and technically appearing wording. If you don't know these names you can actually find guides on the internet where people have obtained all the common Windows apps for you to then copy and paste the commands to remove them ie Windows Money, News, Candy Crush, Facebook etc. Some are admittedly bloatware (stuff that just clogs your computer unnecessarily) and so running these commands can get rid of the stuff you don't want or need.

    This is a good guide which tells you about Windows built-in apps and how to remove them:
