When I try to set the F12 key in the hotkeys field for Snip, the green checkmark indicator on the right changes to a red cross, and when I hover over it, it says: "The shortcut has already been registered by another program." I think this may be related to a system program, since I am using a desktop computer. The problem occurs only with this key. OneDrive, Edge, and most Windows 11 system apps have been removed; no other programs are installed except Snipaste itself, as well as Firefox and Photoshop, which are currently disabled. The program is running with administrator rights, and all processes except system ones are turned off.

Could you please remove this restriction? Even with all these programs open and pressing F12, nothing happens. Snipaste cannot set F12 as a hotkey, and the logs show the following error:

[-__-::.___] [W] QxtGlobalShortcut failed to register: QKeySequence("F12") [ 3 ].

System: Windows 11.
