PowerToys version: 0.11.0
PowerToy module for which you are reporting the bug (if applicable): FancyZones

Steps to reproduce

Press “Win+Ctrl+<Number>” to change active FancyZones layout.

Expected behavior

actually i think we need to migrate away from these keystrokes here, Win+Ctrl tend to be for virtual desktop. I can see a world when we start diving into these that WinKey+Ctrl+Num will go to that Virtual desktop
