If you were looking to temporarily turn off Alt-Tab and the left Win-key

I recently used Autohotkey to create a tiny script for Windows that turns off the Alt-Tab hotkey and also the left Win-key. (after dying one to many times to that in PUBG) In order to switch to the desktop from a full screen game while the script is running, one can for instance press Ctrl-Shift-Esc.

I thought why not put it up here in case just one other person could have use for it. The ZIP file contains two files, first the bare script which would require Autohotkey to run, then a “compiled” EXE which can be run standalone. While running an icon shows up in the Systray, right-click and Exit to end the script.

On the same subject, the Logitech G Pro Gaming Keyboard has a dedicated button on it that disables the Windows key for exactly the same reason.
