How do I disable the keyboard shortcut for hiding the taskbar?

Hello,

it seems that during a recent update, a function was added to Windows 11 for hiding the taskbar via a keyboard shortcut [Shift + Tab].

I have a problem with this, since I play shooter games where you can check the scoreboard [Tab] while sprinting [Shift]. Some games have the backpack bound to [Tab], for example CoD Warzone or Zombies lets you quick-look into the backpack when holding [Tab].

Doing so causes the games to lose focus, because the windows readjust to the available space, which is really annoying.

Is there a way to disable this specific shortcut?

  • Since Windows doesn't offer a native way to disable this specific shortcut, you can remap or block the Shift + Tab combination using tools like AutoHotkey.
