WINDOWS 10 & 11
Disable the Insert button to prevent overwriting text
It’s easy to accidentally press the Insert button on a PC keyboard and find yourself overwriting text as you type. If you have no need for the Insert button, try disabling it using the Registry Editor – though, as always, back up your computer first in case anything goes wrong.
Press Windows key+R then in the address bar (or copy and paste it from our Pastebin account at ). Next, rightclick Keyboard Layout, then select New and click Binary Value. Type inside the ‘New Value #1’ box to give this command a suitable name, such as ‘Disable Insert’ ( in our screenshot below).
