Windows 10: Cortana menu triggers when trying to use snipping tool shortcut.

So, like the title says. I have Cortana turned off, and it's set to not listen anything, but half the time when I try to use the snipping tool shortcut (Win + Shift + S), Cortana decides to answer the call due to the (Win + S) shortcut.

Now, I'm aware that there is an element of this problem that is mine. Specifically, the bit where apparently I flub the shortcut half the time - but I use the snipping tool reasonably frequently, and Cortana never. My initial thought was, why not disable the Cortana shortcut?

Looking up solutions to disabling Cortana answering to the WIN + S shortcut, or people complaining about this same thing doesn't really get me anywhere. All I was able to find was a rather firm suggestion here at Microsoft Answers that trying to disable the shortcut will also disable my access to the start menu altogether.

I'll save you my expletive ridden thoughts on that particular design decision, and instead ask: Does anyone have any suggestions for a workaround? Would going for the registry kill option for Cortana stop it from opening in these circumstances?
