Research direction
Start in the Keyboard Manager area and reproduce the report on Windows 11 using the listed PowerToys version, the described shortcuts, and typing 5. Check which Keyboard Manager configuration or process state causes shortcuts and keys to stop responding; done means shortcuts work while PowerToys remains open. No source file or test is named, so locating the relevant entry point will require project familiarity.
