Keyboard shortcuts, Windows 10

There is a shortcut (Alt + Shift) which changes the keyboard say from English (United Kingdom) to English (United States) and vice versa. I play a game which involves using the Alt and Shift keys during gameplay. Later when I am using a text editor like
say Notepad, after typing for a while (one finger typing so I need to look at the keyboard when typing) I look at the screen and find some of the characters are incorrect. While playing the game it has changed my selected keyboard setting.

My question is can I disable the Alt + Shift shortcut?

 

List custom keyboard shortcuts - Alt + Shift + T

Hello,
I found a VERY useful thread from cniggeler with a script by Frederik Long - hoping they'll get tagged here somehow, since I can't ping either of them directly; the script is below. I ran it successfully, but it found nothing. I've got a keyboard shortcut
for Alt + Shift + T on one of my laptops that is pulling up some screen-shot tool that I've never used before instead of the menu access for a different software that works on every other device I use.

So, does the script below work for any keyboard shortcut combo or is there some reference to the OP's Ctrl+Alt+U hotkey shortcut?

More simply, anyone have any idea what screen-shot snipping tool is using Alt+Shift+T? I've googled it to frustration, hence this question.

Thanks for any helpful guidance.
