Disable Alt + Arrow display flip keyboard shortcut
Whenever I click Alt + Arrow up/Arrow down my screen will do an unwanted flip. I'd like to disable this shortcut behaviour. I've already looked at Super User question How to stop my laptop's screen from rotating when I press Alt + Arrow?.
But Ctrl + Alt + F12 doesn't start any menu for me. How can I fix this problem?
I have an Nvidia graphic card, 2100M, and Windows 7 on a Toshiba computer.
Neither of these answers helped me. What I did:
Right-click on Desktop and select Graphics options > hotkeys > Disable
As indicated in Windows Forums and Microsoft Answers
For these using Intel Graphic, to disable global hotkeys:
- Right click on your Desktop and select:
I had the exact same issue on an Acer notebook with an Intel graphics driver. Simply disabling the feature was not enough, since the keys are still captured and not passed to the system afterwards, even if the rotation did not happen.
That means I was still not able to use this key combination in any other software, because it won't receive the shortcut.
To solve this I opened the Intel graphics properties page, enabled shortcuts, changed all available shortcuts from Ctrl+Alt+(some key) to Ctrl+Shift+(some key), and finally deactivated it again. This way the Ctrl+Alt combination is captured only for the F8 key, which can't be changed, and all other shortcuts are captured by the software I wanted to use (like Eclipse or PHPStorm) - I rarely use the other combination, so this was a valid solution for me.
- Press Ctrl + Alt + F12
- Click on "Options and Support"
- You can now either disable the hotkeys or change the keys.
