Research direction
Start by reproducing the Command Palette activation shortcut problem on Windows 11 25H2, using the attached PowerToys report ZIP for diagnostic details. Compare the behavior with the ARM Surface Pro 11 case and inspect the low-level hook and full-screen ignore settings described in the report. Done means the shortcut opens Command Palette after one press consistently.
