Hey there,

I use a 60% keyboard, specifically the Anne Pro 2 for my machine. In the software included (obinskit) with the keyboard it allows you to make macros in order to compensate for the missing keys. I previously had made macros for window management, but after I installed powertools my macros for snapping windows to the left and right ( "Windows+left arrow " and “Windows+ right arrow”) does still snap my windows to the desired direction, BUT it also triggers the start menu to pop up after the window has snapped. I have to then alt+tab or mouse click to get back to the window I was using in order to make it the currently focused window.

I’ve tried pulling up Carnac to see what was happening, but the shown keys pressed are as should be, nothing out of the ordinary and no extra key presses. But still the start menu keeps showing up. To be more clear this only happens with snapping windows to the left and right, not up or down.

I also checked my macros to see if the timing of the different key presses are registering at different times, but they are set to go off and stop and that same exact times.

The thing is whenever I manually push all the buttons to snap the windows left and right without using macros, the commands work then works as it should and the start menu does not pop up

Kinda out of ideas, does anyone else who uses macros to snap windows have a similar problem.

Thanks for the input

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.836]
PowerToys version: 0.18.2
:

Steps to reproduce

Press macro key for Window snapping left or right via Obinkit.

Actual behavior

Window does snap left or right, BUT also opens up the start menu as if the only key pressed was the Windows Key

Problem does not happen when snapping up or down.
