Description
### Microsoft PowerToys version
0.99.1
### Installation method
GitHub
### Area(s) with issue?
FancyZones
### Steps to reproduce
So if you have FancyZones `Override Windows Snap` enabled for `Relative Position` .. then `Win+Up/Right/Down/Left` works as expected. The window moves to the relevant FancyZone as expected. But with that setting on, for some reason, `Ctrl+Win+Alt+Left/Right` seem to resize the window as well.
If you turn the setting _OFF_, then those extra keys do not trigger.
### ✔️ Expected Behavior
Is this the intended behaviour? I would expect that "Override Windows Snap" would mean that Windows Snap hot keys would be "disabled" .. or "overridden" in favour of FancyZones. For example, Win+Up would _NOT_ maximise the window if the override is enabled. And certainly, there should not be new extra hotkeys defined out of the blue.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in FancyZones with Override Windows Snap set to Relative Position, testing the listed Win and Ctrl+Win+Alt shortcuts. Then inspect the FancyZones handling for the override and its hotkey registration; done means the intended Windows shortcuts behave consistently without unintended resize shortcuts.
