A similar thing I've run into where a feature that usually wouldn't get activated much gets in the way because of games making you input weird patterns is the Windows language swap hotkey, alt-shift. I play a game that uses alt and shift a lot, and involves quite a bit of typing, so I kept getting confused why my language was suddenly different. Took me ages to find out why.

If you just make sure to only have a single keyboard layout in the settings, it doesn't have any other layouts it can switch to.

I don't get why you'd need multiple layouts, don't you just have one keyboard connected to your computer?

But yeah, just disable the hotkey.

I need multiple layouts because I'm bilingual.

Yeah, it's annoying. I use Dvorak but some games don't detect that (a lot of respect to those that do detect it because my qwerty typing isn't very efficient anymore, if I do need to type in addition to game input) and it's easier to switch to qwerty than rebind everything, so I don't want to disable it.

Though if you don't use the other languages, you can remove them from your list. Do a search to find it, MS likes to move this option around so I don't know offhand where it is right now, but if you only have one language/layout, the key combo does nothing. You can also change the hotkeys.

I need the other languages, instead I disabled the hotkey to swap.
