<p dir="auto"><strong>Windows build number:</strong> Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.815]<br>

<p dir="auto">I've tried all combinations of the PowerToys versions listed above along with running as Administrator, rebooting, using the msi or msix installers, and also deleting the zone settings.</p>
<p dir="auto">Potentially unrelated: the Window Walk also only works for a few seconds at startup before the hotkey does nothing.</p>

<p dir="auto">The Zone Editor window is displayed allowing me to interactively configure what will become the Zone settings JSON file.</p>

<p dir="auto">Cursor gets a loading spinner while in Task Manager a process named <code class="notranslate">Windows Problem Reporting</code> appears briefly. The PowerToys Settings does not crash and remains functioning normally.</p>

<ol dir="auto">
<li>Open <strong><em>PowerToys</em> -&gt; <em>Keyboard Manager</em> -&gt; <em>Remap Shortcuts</em></strong>. If PowerToys is already open, disable <em>Shortcut Guide</em> and <strong>turn it on again</strong>.</li>

<h1 dir="auto">Expected behavior</h1>
<p dir="auto">Clickable windows and a peaceful moment while thinking of a good shortcut key to pair with the <code class="notranslate">Windows</code> key.</p>
<h1 dir="auto">Actual behavior</h1>
<ol dir="auto">
<li>I am unable to click anything on the Remap shortcuts prompt and window and PowerToys window except for the buttons in their title bar. After holding <code class="notranslate">Esc</code>, I can only use <code class="notranslate">Tab/Shift-Tab</code>, <code class="notranslate">Space</code>, <code class="notranslate">Enter</code> (and arrow keys) to navigate the Remap shortcut window and PowerToys window.</li>
<li>My Windows Terminal was also open during this moment, and as soon as the bug appeared, I cannot click the title bar of Windows Terminal to add more tabs but the keyboard and hotkeys for Windows Terminal are still working.</li>
</ol>
<h1 dir="auto">Fixes</h1>
<h3 dir="auto">A) Turn off <strong><em>Shortcut Guide</em></strong> to temporarily solve the issue.</h3>
<p dir="auto">After hours of figuring out how to consistently replicate the bug , <strong>I found out that the <em><em>Shortcut Guide</em></em> hotkey (hold <code class="notranslate">Windows</code> key) can conflict the <em>Keyboard Manager</em> when the <code class="notranslate">Windows</code> key is pressed long enough</strong> during the input of shortcut combination in the <strong><em>Keyboard Manager</em> -&gt; <em>Remap a shortcut</em> -&gt; <em>Type a Shortcut</em> prompt</strong>. Here's a trivial explanation on how to temporarily solve the bug:</p>
<ol dir="auto">
<li>Hold <code class="notranslate">Esc</code> to exit the Type Shortcut prompt.</li>
<li>Use <code class="notranslate">Tab</code> or <code class="notranslate">Shift + Tab</code> to navigate to the <strong>Cancel</strong> button of Remap shortcuts window. Press <code class="notranslate">Enter</code> once the button is navigated to exit the window.</li>
<li>Once in the  PowerToys Settings window, use <code class="notranslate">Shift + Tab</code>  or <code class="notranslate">Tab</code> to reach the left sidebar. Once there, use the arrow keys to navigate to <strong>Shortcut Guide</strong>.</li>
<li>Press <code class="notranslate">Enter</code> to go to the Shortcut Guide settings (you may need to press <code class="notranslate">Enter</code> twice).</li>
<li>Navigate to <strong>Enable Shortcut Guide</strong> and use <code class="notranslate">Spacebar</code> to toggle off Shortcut Guide.</li>
<li>By this moment, everything is back to normal<sup id="user-content-headnote-2"><a href="#footnote-2">2</a></sup>. The PowerToys window is now clickable, yaay!</li>
</ol>
<h3 dir="auto">B) Run Shortcut Guide at least <strong>once</strong> every time it is re-enabled.</h3>
<p dir="auto">Just press the <code class="notranslate">Windows</code> key until the Shortcut Guide overlay appears and the bug will not happen anymore after following the above <em>Steps to reproduce</em>. During my investigation, this must be done every time Shortcut Guide is re-enabled in order to prevent future conflicts with the Keyboard Manager during a session.</p>

The <code class="notranslate">VK207</code> does not necessarily need to appear because the bug happens even if it does not appear. I am putting the virtual keyboard code because it might give the developers an idea of what is happening here. From what I have observed, pressing the <code class="notranslate">Windows</code> key for the duration indicated in <strong><em>Shortcut Guide</em> -&gt; <em>Appearance and Behavior</em> -&gt; <em>Press duration before showing (ms)</em> is the key to replicate the bug</strong>. This bug can also be replicated in the <strong><em>Remap keys</em></strong> option by holding the <code class="notranslate">Windows</code> key during the input prompt.<a href="#headnote-1"><g-emoji class="g-emoji" alias="leftwards_arrow_with_hook" fallback-src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/21a9.png">↩</g-emoji></a></p>
<p dir="auto"><b id="user-content-footnote-2">2</b><br>
I still have no idea why the Windows Terminal was affected by this bug. I guess this has something to do with the unexpected behaviour of Shortcut Guide.<a href="#headnote-2">↩</a></p>
