I have installed the Witcher 3 and it is playing beautifully. There is one minor annoying problem though. The game fails to disable the "Windows" key when it is running. I am playing the game in full screen mode. Is there a way to disable this key while in full screen mode?

Game Version 1.08.4
Windows 10 Pro
Mouse and Keyboard Control scheme

Thank you for your time and help!

Are you running the game as a borderless window by any chance? Shouldn't happen, if you're running the game fullscreen.
@Windows Key: I think you can disable that - see here:

@ScreenSaver: Afaik the answer is no - this annoys me as well.

Just change your screensaver time to a longer period.

Modern monitors don't need screensavers. Disable it.

I know about that, but I also need little bit security / privacy. Screensaver (with password) protects my computer when I'm away.

I've remapped left Win key to asterisk, and now I can bind some functionality in game to Win key.
But it's temporary solution, because left Win key is usable for me in everyday computer usage.
Nevermind...
I've found better solution: utility AutoHotkey. After installation, file AutoHotkey.ahk should be opened (it is regular text file)
Delete everything which doesn't start with semicolon, and then put this line at the end:

~LWin Up:: return

Restart/reboot.
Unfortunatey, AutoHotkey has no autostart feature, and must be launched just before gaming.
All shortcuts like Win+M, Win+E still working, but in Witcher i CAN bind something usefull to Win key and not being thrown into desktop :D
