Disable Certain Hotkeys/Hotkey Functions (Screen Capture)

To reïterate, PrtSc on its own works fine, it's the Windows + PrtSc hotkey I'm having trouble with. I've even entirely uninstalled Snipping Tool and am still having the issue. I don't have OneNote installed at all, and on some poking it doesn't seem to be related to OneDrive either. As far as I can tell, this is a native part of the Windows OS.

Ok you uninstalled snipping tool but did you disable that accessibility setting?

Just tried putting that into the entry and restarting, no luck. I think I'll just try a different hotkey configuration at this point...
Edit: Ah, I see it didn't exactly not work, though... just disabled all hotkeys bound to P, r, t, S and c 😅
Edit 2: Yikes, looks like it also stops me from setting custom hotkeys with other software to those disabled... I'm thinking the registry entry might be a dead end.

you can use autohotkey to map a custom hotkey to Win+Prtsc and back from Win+Prtsc to your custom choice. that should overwrite it
