@alemputes is this the right Alt key (or AltGr) which isn't working?

[alemputes]

I use a Apple Magic Keyboard in windows so "Alt = Options" and "AltGr = Options+Control" https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202676, none of them work.

Is this a bootcamp scenario or are you just using a mac keyboard?

[alemputes]

Yeah I am using bootcamp with Apple Magic keyboard. I am switching often between the OSs so would be great if this kind of mapping could work.

[crutkas]

@arjunbalgovind this should work, no? This is a few versions ago, have we touched an area of code where this would have been fixed?

[arjunbalgovind]

The left Alt should work normally, but AltGr would be broken because AltGr is equivalent to LCtrl+RAlt. We don't have a repro for Left Alt not working.

For me this is still a issue with my Magic Keyboard in bootcamp in the latest version of powertoys

AltGr and Ctrl+Alt gives (more) issues. There's something fishy about it and I think we should investigate, and make people more aware. Most people just don't know that AltGr = (L)Ctrl + (R)Alt and many remap their (left) Ctrl keys...
Quote from Wikipedia:

On a typical, Windows-compatible PC keyboard, the AltGr key, when present, takes the place of the right-hand Alt key: if not engraved as such, that key may still be remapped to behave as though it is, (or emulated using a chord such as Ctrl+Alt).
