Steps to reproduce

Hi, i am very happy to use Power toys to map an Apple Keyboard to keep some of my habits working on Windows. It works brilliantly (like Karabiner works on macOS) on a PC.

However I had some headaches on a Mac running Windows 10 with Boot Camp. Boot Camp seems to hard-map F14-F16 that way:

F14 -> Print Screen F15 -> Scroll Lock F16 -> Pause

This mapping is not overridden by Power Toys, so the F15 -F16 keys provide the mapped output, plus additionally a parasitic Scroll Lock / Pause respectively.

Since I don't expect any effort from Apple to change that behaviour, could you change your precedence process to catch the keystrokes before the boot-camp driver?

✔️ Expected Behavior

F15, F16 being remapped without side effects

❌ Actual Behavior

Scroll Lock, Pause persists after remapping

Other Software

Apple Boot Camp drivers 6.0.6136
