Description

Describe the Bug

On my Computer auto shift works as intended, but Windows Remote Desktop ignores auto shift. I tried AUTO_SHIFT_TIMEOUT between 80 - 150 with no effect. Setting Remote Desktop to run Windows-Shortcuts on the client only, would resolve the auto shift problem, but alt+tab, win-key would run locally, wich is not intended

Additional Context

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how QMK's auto shift interacts with Windows Remote Desktop. Check if key events are being intercepted or if the auto shift timing is affected by the remote session. Consider testing with different USB endpoints or host key combinations.
