Had exactly the same problem an a brand new Win11 install.

Tried running Power Toys as a User or as Admin and no change.

Click the "Remap a Key" and nothing happens.

I installed 0.78 on the same PC and it works in this version (which is also new install of Win 11)

This was happening to me I installed the Microsoft c++ runtime libraries and it started working. I commented this somewhere else as well but saw this here. It was the latest runtime library that I installed 2022.

@rellevart1 how did you install the latest runtime libraries, so people can follow precisely the same steps? did you download from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#latest-microsoft-visual-c-redistributable-version?

I downgraded to 0.78.0 for now: winget install -e --id Microsoft.PowerToys -v 0.78.0

etdr commented 3 months ago

@jcrben I installed the libraries from that link just now and it did fix this problem FYI
