Description of the new feature / enhancement

The combination "Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win" is not allowed in Keyboard Manager - Remap a shortcut.
The program expects another "neutral" key to form a valid combination, although this combination is valid by itself and triggers a bloatware app by default.

Scenario when this would be used?

I have a Microsoft bluetooth keyboard (similar to this one) with an annoying button near the rightmost Alt key.
It is actually mapped to the following combination - "Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win", which opens up the "Microsoft 365 (Office)" program.
This key is always pressed by accident (because why otherwise) and the window that pops up interferes with my work, so using PowerToys to disable this key/remap to another useful program would be very nice!
