Blocking infamous shortcut of Alt + Control + Delete

[Thy Grand Voidinesss]

Is there a way to block

Alt + Ctrl + Del?

I do not need to get rid of Task Manager or it to be automatically closed - I just need that system wide keyboard shortcut to be [temporarily] prevented from doing anything

I have read many topics on various forums but the solutions do not work on Windows 10 and / or bluntly want to block input from keyboard entirely. Among them were those using AutoHotkey

Don't know?

Opposing views, so...

I have read through them and links within them. From them those two REG hacks seemed promising

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\taskmgr.exe]
"Debugger"="Hotkey Disabled"

Code: Select all

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,4d,e0,1d,e0,4b,e0,1d,00,\
  00,00,00,00

but they just ended messing up other things after the reset of system, as

Control

key has stopped working entirely


So I am still where I was

Any other ideas / references from anyone?

I need to block this

Alt + Ctrl + Del

keyboard shortcut so that I will be sure my cat will not be able to operate my computer with hers butt when I leave the room. I have an AHK script that blocks all input - except a turn off switch for it [in form of a doubled pressing of a mouse button] and except that system keyboard shortcut

After further research: it seems to be impossible; at least not with using just a script of any kind - i.e. there would have to be performed some high level work on the system [which would be against the caveat of using just a script on any system]
