I'm having an issue where pressing ALT + A brings up a color picking app that lets me use Ctrl + C to copy screen colors. I've included a screenshot for reference. I'm looking to disable this feature as it's quite disruptive. any advice on how to do this would be super helpful!

It sounds like youโ€™re dealing with the PowerToys Color Picker. You can either go to PowerToys settings and disable the shortcut or uninstall PowerToys if you donโ€™t need it for anything else. Just keep in mind that uninstalling will remove all its features.

CuriousCoder88: I tried that too, but even after disabling the color picker, it still pops up. I'm in the same boatโ€”I depend on PowerToys for other tasks, so uninstalling isnโ€™t an option!
