Keyboard Manager
Steps to reproduce
I use Keyboard Manager to remap the Previous Track/Pause Play/Next Track buttons to use in LIghtroom. That worked well until today, when I installed the "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center" to use with a Microsoft Mouse I had on the shelf.
After installing this program from the Window store, every remapped key is sent twice. I also have "Browser Home" mapped to Ctrl+Z for Undo, and when I press it, it does the Undo and opens a new instance of Firefox (my default browser).
To summarize: the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center breaks Powertoys Keyboard Manager. As soon as I uninstalled the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center, Keyboard Manager started working properly again.
Note that I do not have a Microsoft Keyboard, but I do have a Microsoft Mouse.
✔️ Expected Behavior
I expected Keyboard Manager to continue working as before after I installed "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center".
❌ Actual Behavior
Every re-mapped keystroke was duplicated. Also, when I double-checked my settings, when pressing "Save", I got a pop up message about the keys I had assigned NOT being assigned.
Other Software
Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard center from the Windows store. I got a popup suggesting that I install this after I connected a Microsoft Mouse, but the problem did not go away when I resumed using my Logitech mouse.
