Microsoft PowerToys version

0.79.0

Installation method

Running as admin

Yes

Area(s) with issue?

Keyboard Manager

Steps to reproduce

powertoy

✔️ Expected Behavior

I mapped "alt (left)" to "ctrl (left)", "ctrl (left)" to "alt (left)", "alt (left) + tab" to "ctrl (left) + tab", "ctrl (left) + tab" to "alt (left) + tab". My goal is to create a mac-like experience, with "alt (left)" being the "command" key on macOS. This setting can work, but not for long before the keyboard mapping gets messed up, meaning one key leads to some random function.

❌ Actual Behavior

This setting can work, but not for long before the keyboard mapping gets messed up, meaning one key leads to some random function. Whenever that happens, I hit "ctrl + alt + delete" and it resets.

Other Software

The same situation has happened many times on many different computers of mine. I don't think it is triggered by other software.
