Description Ahmad Samir 2022-08-16 10:57:39 UTC 
Open Application Menu's config dialog, the shortcut is Alt+F1 by default, if set to that it activated the menu when the Super/Win key is pressed.
- set the shortcut to something else, press Super/Win the menu is still activated
- unset the shortcut altogether, press Super/Win the menu is still activated

Editing ~/.config/kwinrc and adding:
[ModifierOnlyShortcuts]
Meta=

stops the Super/Win key from activating the menu.

This was an intentional change that was made to fix many bugs; see https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/1937.

Your workaround is in fact now the expected method of manually disabling it. :)
