Keyboard Manager

Steps to reproduce

Hi, I installed Keyboard Manager on a clean installation of Windows 10, and unfortunately 80% of the times it simply does not work. I can restart it, turn keyboard manager on and off, and still it doesn't work. Only sporadically does it work, it sometimes aligns with a computer restart (usually I just put it to sleep), but not always.

I had it on this same computer and keyboard combo on a previous installation of Windows 10 and it worked quite reliably then.

I have remapped a few shortcuts to be more like my work Mac, so its nothing very fancy. Here they are: image

Any direction on how to start debugging this? Here is the bug report: PowerToysReport_2023-11-15-19-25-46.zip

Thanks!

I have the same problem. And many times the only key combination I have spontaneously gets placed by pressing any key but the assigned key.
