Keyboard Manager
Steps to reproduce
The Keyboard Manager always stops working, and at the same time the other functions work well. In my case I remapped ctrl + w to alt + f4 in several applications, but it always failed after the machine restarted or hibernated. Restarting both Powertoys and Keyboard manager functions didn't restore it, but I eventually found that by bringing up task manager and then not having to do anything, it worked again. But that's not elegant and good enough to use, is it?
✔️ Expected Behavior
Make it stable.
❌ Actual Behavior
It frequently fails

By the way, this problem occurs on all my windows devices, so I infer that it is not an individual problem with my certain computer. Hope you guys fix it, love
What does your bug report say? I can't reproduce it.
It happens randomly, it only affects the remap shortcut section of the keyboard manager; the single key remaps still operate as per usual. Restarting the app does fix it but then it stops later!
