Windows 10: Change Game Bar shortcut keys in Windows 11

Hello,When I was using Windows 10 there was an option to change the screenshot keys for the Game Bar. When updating to Windows 11 this shortcut key became the open Game Bar shortcut but the option to change this seems to have been removed. Is there a way to change this without having to completely reinstall Windows?Thank you.

XBox Game Bar Custom Shortcut Problem

Yesterday I encountered a very weird problem with the XBox Game Bar (Windows 10). I use a custom keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Pause) for taking screenshots so I can activate it with only one hand. However, yesterday the custom shortcut just stopped working.

The default shortcut still works (Win + Alt + Print Screen), just not the custom shortcut. It doesn't matter what I set the custom shortcut to it won't work.
The strange thing is other custom shortcuts do work. For example I can customize the "open XBox game bar" shortcut to "Ctrl + Pause" and it works. But it won't work with screenshots no matter what I set it to.

I've tried repairing and resetting the app from the settings menu multiple times, turning settings on and off. I also tried uninstalling the app using PowerShell and installing it fresh from the MS store. I've also tried uninstalling it and
re-installing it from the MS store. I've also tried uninstalling and removing the registry keys as suggested here (Top 5 Solutions to Xbox Game Bar Not Working)

Nothing has worked so far. It's almost as if there is a setting somewhere that was changed or set to read-only but I see the values change in the registry when changing the screenshot shortcut.

I'm out of ideas on what to try at this point. Does anyone have any solutions?

Thanks.
