Hi, I'm making this post as I have not found any solution to my issue anywhere else. When I hold control down on my keyboard and try to press the spacebar, it simply registers the spacebar as having been released and not being pressed down. This causes issues in games where i cannot jump when holding control. I have verified that this is a windows issue as it occurs on multiple keyboards I have tested. The two linked videos show the issue. Edit: This issue persists after shutdown.

Yes, we have PowerToys' Peek utility installed. Check the details for more information.

It worked; disabling it resolved the issue. Appreciate the assistance. It's curious why this adjustment remains enabled across all environments instead of being limited to File Explorer.

Likely a Windows restriction that can be resolved using raw input, since you can't insert spaces while holding Ctrl but you can perform a crouch jump in CSGO.

I believe it doesn’t automatically turn on or off hotkeys depending on the active program. Otherwise, it would have to check if Explorer is the current focus app. You might want to switch the shortcut to another key, as that seems feasible.
