AutoHotkey: Disable Ctrl+Shift (Windows 10 - keyboard layout switch)

How can I disable the Ctrl+Shift hotkey (keyboard layout switching) in Windows 10 using AutoHotkey?

(However I would like to keep all combinations of this: Ctrl+Shift+Any other key)

I've tried this, but it's not blocking the hotkey:

; Test.ahk
; Try disable Ctrl+Shift
+^::

Edit: I've found a way to disable it in newer Windows 10 builds without AHK:

But I think the question is still standing.

Write this in your execute prompt (using Window + r):

rundll32 Shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL input.dll,,{C07337D3-DB2C-4D0B-9A93-B722A6C106E2}{HOTKEYS}

it will show you the panel directly so you can disable the hotkey in the change key sequence button.
