hello and thank you.
I play everquest 1.
for my global activation keys i like using alt + F1 through alt + F12.
with windows 8 using alt + f4 was fine. pressing alt + f4 would not close any window, it properly activated the EQ window.
now i updated to windows 10 and alt + f4 closes what ever window is active.
for now i have switched it to crtl + f4, but old muscle memory of pressing alt + f4 is becoming frustrating.
is there any fix to this? or do i have to suck it up and cant use alt + f4 anymore?
thanks again
Alt F4 Global activation key with windows 10

There are registry keys you can use to disable all the Windows global hotkeys, although they don't specifically refer ALT+F4, and allude to the WIN key, YMMV (mainly because I think ALT+F4 is a local window hotkey rather than global).
It is possible that it could be coded to trap the ALT+F4 if a particular process is open, and people do using AutoHotKey (https://autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Override.htm , http://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/2030264429). No idea if this still works on Win10.
