Windows 10: Changing Windows shortcuts to English

Hello, I have Windows 11 installed and system language is set to Portuguese my native language. Whenever I'm using windows all system wide keyboard shortcuts are set to Portuguese shortcuts Ctrl-G to save, Ctrl-T to select all, for example. Some keyboard shortcuts coincide with English keyboard shortcuts cut, copy paste, and some others, but some very relevant to me don't. This is quite confusing and unpractical, because installed software follows the English shortcuts which I prefer and I am used to, but windows file explorer and other OS related software uses the Portuguese shortcuts
