Research direction
Start by reproducing the loss of Shift with PowerToys v0.90.1 and Keyboard Manager disabled, then identify which General utility or input path is involved. The report provides no bug ZIP, file, test, or reliable trigger; done would require a confirmed cause and a regression check that Shift remains usable.
