Hotkeys not working globally

[Dapal]

So I'm trying to set up OBS to act like Nvida shadow play where you can hit a button and save the last X minutes of game play. However I noticed that despite running OBS as admin and having the hotkeys set to "Never disable" The hotkeys do not activate when OBS is not the current active program. I am on a fresh install of 20h2 after it did not work on 1909
Here is my log file:

Analyzer | OBS

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

So I managed to find a really stupid workaround for the hotkeys not registering.
Having an corsair keyboard means I can use the elgato streamdeck software with the G-keys on my keyboard. (No idea why this isn't just build into ICUE but whatever)
Syncing the two applications together through a local websocket I can now control recording/stop recording with my keyboard.
However, re-plays are not in the default feature set, so using the advance OBS plugin (https://barraider.com/#plugins) I am able to configure a "save replay" button which works.

I don't like this work around, and would still like to have global hotkeys

I am currently using elgato software as a solution to this problem, it supports Corsair keyboards. However, that is just a band-aid solution. I just want to be able to assign it to a proper hotkey not one decided by an extra piece of software...

So I found another solution. The streamdec software is no longer properly functioning and thus I can't use it. Rolling back to OBS 25.0.8 I found that global hotkeys work just fine, all be it that they don't accept f13 through f24.
