You need to reassign the shortcut key of the:
Edit.CommentSelection and Edit.UncommentSelection functions.

This is done by:

Open Options (Menu: Tools > Options...)
Choose Environment > Keyboard
In the Show commands containing type: Edit.CommentSelection and/or Edit.UncommentSelection
Now choose the shortcut key you want and press Assign.

Note: Edit.ToggleLineComment and Edit.ToggleBlockComment are not working when editing Python in Visual Studio 2022.

CTRL+K then CTRL+C adds the # in VS for selected lines.

CTRL+K then CTRL+U removes the # in VS for selected lines.

If you want to comment out any line in Python (when using Visual Code) then the shortcut is:

Ctrl + / (Ctrl button plus forward slash)

All you need to do is select the block of code and type Ctrl+1.

The easiest way to achieve this is to highlight all the previous written code that you wish to comment out, then press Ctrl+K and then Ctrl+C.

You will not experience any bugs or altered code during the process.
