Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Windows Terminal 1.20.11381.0 through Settings → Actions, trying combinations that include the Windows key. Trace the key-assignment path used by that settings screen and compare it with combinations that are accepted. Done means Windows-key combinations can be assigned to actions and the existing behavior remains intact.
