Remapped shortcut works inconsistently

Open jennifer-grodner opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.91.0

Installation method

WinGet

Area(s) with issue?

Keyboard Manager

Steps to reproduce

The keyboard manager stops working after a while without any rhyme or reason. I can get it working again if I lock or restart the computer, but only for a while. Afterwards it stops working.

I'm only attempting to remap the copilot key on my laptop, it's a combination of three keys, so I use the shortcut remapping option to map to the ctrl key.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Keyboard manager would effectuate any mappings as long as it is running.

❌ Actual Behavior

After a while of running it stops working, without warning.
