Research direction
Start by reproducing the Keyboard Manager remap from Ctrl+Shift+S to Insert on PowerToys 0.96.1 installed through the Microsoft Store, then inspect the attached PowerToysReport archive for relevant diagnostics. Done means Insert triggers the screenshot action while the original shortcut continues to work as expected.
