Microsoft PowerToys version

0.70.0

Installation method

Microsoft Store

Running as admin

Yes

Area(s) with issue?

Keyboard Manager

Steps to reproduce

The Keyboard Manager always stops working, and at the same time the other functions work well. In my case I remapped ctrl + w to alt + f4 in several applications, but it always failed after the machine restarted or hibernated. Restarting both Powertoys and Keyboard manager functions didn't restore it, but I eventually found that by bringing up task manager and then not having to do anything, it worked again. But that's not elegant and good enough to use, is it?

✔️ Expected Behavior

Make it stable.

❌ Actual Behavior

It frequently fails

Other Software

No response

By the way, this problem occurs on all my windows devices, so I infer that it is not an individual problem with my certain computer. Hope you guys fix it, love

What does your bug report say? I can't reproduce it.

It happens randomly, it only affects the remap shortcut section of the keyboard manager; the single key remaps still operate as per usual. Restarting the app does fix it but then it stops later!
