Steps to reproduce

Hello,
There is an issue assigning CapsLock to Alt+Shift. When the remapping is being saved an message dialog appears:

Some of the keys could not be remapped. Do you want to continue anyway?

I have tried normal (user) and elevated privilege (run as administrator) executions, both fail.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Since Alt+Shift is not conisidered as a system/reserved shortcut according to the docs, the combination should be saved properly and remapped.

❌ Actual Behavior

Both dialog options - Continue anyway and Cancel does the same thing - the Remap Keys window is closed along with the dialog and nothing is saved.
