Steps to reproduce

PowerToysReport_2024-09-29-21-27-26.zip

I'm not entirely sure if this is what caused it, but after installing the last update, I try to use a shortcut I had previously set up that worked just fine and it worked once before edge started using its default shortcut for that key combination that i didn't even know was a thing because I always used the shortcut I made. In the moment I had ctrl + NumPad1 and ctrl + NumPad3 assigned to send the text ">" and "<", respectively. I tried on other apps besides edge and it still didn't work at all.

✔️ Expected Behavior

I was expecting for the shortcuts that I had already and used to work well to keep working.

❌ Actual Behavior

None of the shortcuts I tried making nor the key rebindings worked after that, except for one or two, but for some reason the expected output of the latest shortcut was that of the prior shortcut, even when all prior shortcuts were deleted.

Wanted to update, because I was gonna try anyways: I changed the shortcuts to ctrl + shift + , and ctrl + shift + . for ">" and "<" (in case it was the pre-existing shortcut in edge that made the keyboard manager break down in the first place) and then restarted my laptop. They work fine now, but I hope the cause of the issue can be found, because otherwise we're left with an unstable-feeling functionality (and such a useful and important one too! I have a physical American English keyboard, but need to use the Latin American layout and end up missing keys a lot of the times)
