How to disable charms bar and win key shortcuts completely?

Hi,


Because of security reasons for RDS I need to disable charms bar and win key shortcuts in Windows 2012 R2.

To disable charms bar I've tried the fixes found on the Internet like:

- disabling active corners in taskbar properties

- disabling in registry - EdgeUI

- third party software - ClassicShell

The outcome is that the charms bar is hidden but not disabled, it can still be accessed by pressing Win+C :/

Is there a way, preferably in GPO, as I didn't find anything that works.


Another thing is that the "new" Windows key keyboard shortcuts cannot be disabled via GPO or registry fix (scancode map) - it blocks only the "old" shortcuts like win+D, win+R, win+E, but the mentioned win+C, win+cursors still work.


I hope you can help me out here.
