The first bug is related to Fancy Zones, which doesn't load it when you first boot into Windows 10 or Windows 11. That was causing custom layout shortcuts not to be triggered. Users need to manually disable and then enable FancyZones to load it. Microsoft says that it was due to the VirtualDesktopManager.
The second bug is related to updating Microsoft PowerToys that incorrectly reports the users to use a new app to open power toys link and causing an exception of type System.ArgumentException with an error message An item with the same key has already been added.
