Keyboard Manager

Steps to reproduce

When Keyboard Manager is Enabled and Windows 10 goes into Sleeping mode (either by itself due to inactivity or manually) all the keys on any keyboard connected are randomly remapped.

It happens around 3 minutes into Sleep mode. When pressing any key or move with mouse, to fill in computer password, Windows goes out of Sleep mode. After that all the keys are remapped.

There is a workaround. If I know I leave my desk, I Disable Keyboard Manager and manually put Windows in Sleep mode. Then when coming back and logging in, everything works fine. No keys are remapped. I Enable Keyboard Manager again and everything works like a charm.

✔️ Expected Behavior

All keys that were remapped in Keyboard Manager stay remapped after Windows went into Sleep mode.

❌ Actual Behavior

Keys were all randomly remapped after Windows went into Sleep mode.
