Do you have an example where it specifically mentions that it won't 
work, or are you meaning the lack of Microsoft documentation regarding 
Windows key handling means it might not be guaranteed?

AFAIK, the current workaround was discovered by Andrew Innes after much 
experimentation when the MS docs were found inadequate, and this is the 
first bug report I have seen saying that it doesn't work for suppressing 
the Start Menu as documented. But since the user is using your patched 
version, I can only suppose that it is your changes to low level Windows 
key handling that are causing this problem.
