Or you can disable all keyboard shortcuts in group policy editor:

Enter "gpedit" in the programs search box and run it.
Navigate to User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, File Explorer.
In the right hand pane click on the "setting" tile to get them in alphabetical order
Navigate to "Turn off Windows key hotkeys"
Double click on it and select the "enabled" button.
