Keyboard Manager works unreliably in a VM #21416

Closed unuing closed 1 year ago

unuing commented 1 year ago

Microsoft PowerToys version

v0.63.0

Installation method

GitHub

Running as admin

Area(s) with issue?

Keyboard Manager

Steps to reproduce

I'm running Windows 10 build 19045.2006 in a Hyper-V VM, and the host machine is running Windows 11 build 25227.

I installed PowerToys in both the VM and the host system, and I used Keyboard Manager to swap Left Ctrl and CapsLock keys. Then in the VM, the CapsLock key does get the function of Left Ctrl, but it still triggers CapsLock, while it works normally in the host system.

✔️ Expected Behavior

In the VM, CapsLock key only has the function of Left Ctrl.

❌ Actual Behavior

It still triggers CapsLock.

Other Software

No response

I found that CapsLock is not really triggered, but the light on the key is triggered by pressing CapsLock.

I used https://github.com/mulaRahul/keyviz ( https://mularahul.github.io/keyviz/ ) - installed via scoop install keyviz - and it shows this when I hit CapsLock right now image

Whereas it just shows Ctrl when I click the real Ctrl
