It's easy enough to disable the main Narrator hotkey Win+Ctrl+Enter (in the very settings mentioned in the title), but there seems to be no solution to disable

Win+Ctrl+N that launches the settings dialog.

At least this solution doesn't work. And no answer has been supplied for this question.

Am I really to change a well-memorized keyboard shortcut I used to have been using in VSCode under Windows 7, because... Windows. Any ideas?

I found another solution, you might want to try.

There are two programs that can help you to turn off specific Windows hotkeys, they are SharpKeys and AutoHotkey.

SharpKeys allow you to turn off a specific hotkey or adjust it to another key as you want. Meanwhile, AutoHotKey will help you to turn off a specific hotkey by adding a script.

Take a look at the following article:

There may a solution that need to add a new entry called DisableHotkey into the following registry:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

Name the new string as “DisabledHotkeys“, and set its value as “N“, meaning to disable any keyboard shortcut that uses the combination of Win key and the disabled character in the String Value, such as Win+N, Win+Shift+N, etc.

The disadvantage of this way is that it will disable all hotkeys that use N letter.
