Is there any way to prevent an Xbox Controller from opening Windows Magnifier?

Question

I'm using an Xbox controller on PC and I find that there's some particular button combination (something + the guide button) that launches the Windows Magnifier accessibility ("ease of access") feature. Disabling the feature doesn't prevent the controller from just enabling it again, however, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to prevent the shortcut from being triggered by the controller.

I've been searching for like 3 months, and what you do is the following:

Open the steam settings tab. You can find this in the top right of your steam window by clicking "Steam", then "Settings".

Navigate to the "Controller" tab, then press "Guide button chord configuration". A tab will open where you will see all of the guide button's actions.

Unbind or rebind actions as you like, in my case I've unbound all of the things because I had a problem where my right joystick kept spamming these actions, but if this feature actually works correctly for you, you can rebind things too!

I've been searching for ages for a solution so I had to share it with the world.
