Steps to reproduce

Remapped the windows key to Tilde in PowerToys because I needed it temporarily on a 60% compact keyboard. Went to change it back to the windows key after I got a new keyboard with both keys, but now the keyboard thinks the keys are the same, so if I make a change to the Tilde key it changes the function for the windows key, and vice versa. I have no other programs running that would have this effect on my keyboard. Even with all of the keyboard key remaps deleted in PowerToys, original settings are not reverted.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Tilde back to Tilde
and
windows key back to windows key

❌ Actual Behavior

Tilde = windows key AND windows key = windows key
OR
Tilde = Tilde AND Windows = Tilde

Other Software

Also, to be clear. I have both keyboards. Doesn't matter which is being used, keys have the same issue on both. So definitely software not hardware issue with new keyboard

Can I see either a report bug zip or a screenshot of the remapping? /needinfo /reportbug

Figured out the issue. Another user downloaded Sharpkeys and edited the mapping that way without me knowing. With this program uninstalled and the mapping removed everything is back to normal.

sharpkeys may be a good solution here as it does a pure registry based solution. it can't do shortcuts but can do key to key if memory serves
