How to remove menu bar from the window that opens with an external URL of an Electron application

Question

I have the below code to remove menu bar from the window that opens with an external URL of an Electron application.

windowObject.webContents.setWindowOpenHandler(() => ({
  action: 'allow',
  overrideBrowserWindowOptions: {
    autoHideMenuBar: true,
  },
}));

But the menu pops up when "Alt" key is pressed which is a short-key conflict with my application. So, is there any way to prevent this behavior ? Thanks in advance.

Try doing this, it should fix it depending on what version of eletron your using

const {app, BrowserWindow, Menu} = require('electron')
Menu.setApplicationMenu(false)

if the previous code does not work try doing this

    let mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
        autoHideMenuBar: true
    })
