I experience the same issue randomly: some days it happens up to five times, while other days it doesn't occur at all. To restore all shortcuts, I must terminate 'Keyboardmanager' in Task Manager and restart PowerToys, which resolves the problem.

Same here: But whatever I do, it will reoccur after 30mins.

1. Machine starts with PT active
2. After 30mins tops left totally disappears and NONE of the trained shortcuts works at all: v would bring v and so on
3. Killing and restarting PT fixes this for 30 mins
4. Everything happens again, again and again

Are we the only 3 people on the planet? Even the most recent update from yesterday won't do anything. What is going on Microsoft?

Happens daily now for me. Have to disable Keyboard Manager and enable it again to make the issue diseappear. But comes back after a few hours or half-hour...
Behavior is as if I was pushing the CTRL key all the time.

Behavior is as if I was pushing the CTRL key all the time.

Absolutely! I also noticed that using my CTRL frequently back-to-back seems to be the culprit. But I'm still on the hunt for that magic moment when this occurs.
