Steps to reproduce

I am on Surface Laptop 7 and the Copilot key is not getting mapped to Ctrl properly. This used to work but at some point recently (sorry, can't say when) it stopped being functional.

What happens is when you open "Remap a shortcut" and tap the Copilot key it registers as Win (Left) + Shift (Left) + F23, which is what you would expect. Remapping this to any given key or shortcut stops Copilot from being launched (thankfully), but the key output is jacked up.

Capturing keydown events in my browser it looks like the following sequence is sent every time you tap the Copilot key: Shift + Meta + Unidentified + <TO_KEY> + Meta + Unidentified

So if you have the mapping Win (Left) + Shift (Left) + F23 -> Ctrl you get the output Shift + Meta + Unidentified + Ctrl + Meta + Unidentified

or Win (Left) + Shift (Left) + F23 -> Alt + 0 you see Shift + Meta + Unidentified + Alt + 0 + Meta + Unidentified

✔️ Expected Behavior

only the mapping should be sent

❌ Actual Behavior

the wrong stuff gets sent
