Hotkey issue after Windows 11 update

[enkelmedia]

I just updated to "Windows 11, version 24H2" and after this it seems impossible to use Win + V as a hotkey.

When pressing Win+V I'm getting this:

And when trying to set the hotkey in the Ditto UI I get this error when pressing OK.

Looking at the global hoykeys shows this:

And the log when trying to save looks like this:

Ohhh, I managed to find a workaround:

Basically setting Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Clipboard\IsCloudAndHistoryFeatureAvailable to a DWORD with value 0 and restart explorer.exe.

I might be nice if there was a feature in Ditto to help out with this, otherwise feel free to close the issue if you feel that this is more a documentation kind of thing.

There is another method to disable any explorer built-in hotkey including win+v: https://superuser.com/a/725556/80052
