Ctrl-S input event in Windows console with ReadConsoleInputW

I am using ReadConsoleInputW to read Windows 10 console input. I want to be able to detect when Ctrl+S is pressed. Using the code I have, I can detect Ctrl+Q without issue, but I'm not seeing anything for Ctrl+S. Is Ctrl+S even detectable?

The below is the sequence of INPUT_RECORD I read when pressing Ctrl+S a few times, followed by Ctrl+Q.

Key { key_down: true, repeat_count: 1, key_code: 17, scan_code: 29, wide_char: 0, control_key_state: 40 }
Key { key_down: true, repeat_count: 1, key_code: 17, scan_code: 29, wide_char: 0, control_key_state: 40 }
Key { key_down: true, repeat_count: 1, key_code: 17, scan_code: 29, wide_char: 0, control_key_state: 40 }
Key { key_down: true, repeat_count: 1, key_code: 17, scan_code: 29, wide_char: 0, control_key_state: 40 }
Key { key_down: true, repeat_count: 1, key_code: 17, scan_code: 29, wide_char: 0, control_key_state: 40 }
Key { key_down: true, repeat_count: 1, key_code: 17, scan_code: 29, wide_char: 0, control_key_state: 40 }
Key { key_down: true, repeat_count: 1, key_code: 17, scan_code: 29, wide_char: 0, control_key_state: 40 }
Key { key_down: true, repeat_count: 1, key_code: 17, scan_code: 29, wide_char: 0, control_key_state: 40 }
Key { key_down: true, repeat_count: 1, key_code: 81, scan_code: 16, wide_char: 17, control_key_state: 40 }

If it matters, this is in Rust using wio.

Calling SetConsoleMode with ENABLE_WINDOW_INPUT | ENABLE_MOUSE_INPUT | ENABLE_EXTENDED_FLAGS as the second argument (thus disabling ENABLE_PROCESSED_INPUT) did the trick.
