Can I change the "switch between keyboard layouts" keyboard shortcut in Windows 11?

The default keyboard shortcut to change the keyboard layout is Win+Spacebar (as seen in the picture). But there is also another shortcut: if you hold Control and press Shift it will also switch between the layouts. This is very inconvenient because there are other software running on my computer that use Control as an auxiliary key, resulting in undesired keyboard layout changes all the time. I'm writing in English but suddenly the keyboard changes to German because I used the Control key to do something else and it actually changed the layout. It happens all the time. It's so obnoxious!

Is there a way to remove/change one of these shortcuts? Thank you for the help.

    Hi Ryzen,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Open the Settings App, then go to Time and Language - Typing - Advanced Keyboard Settings.

    Click 'Input Language Hotkeys'

    On the resulting dialog, you can change the keyboard shortcuts for the Language bar.
