for upgrades, the behavior was off by default for new utilities, we are changing that for 0.16.1

Same issue here. Window Walker is enabled, ctrl+win does nothing. That is to say, when pressing the windows key after holding control, the start menu pops up, as if control wasn't pressed.
Tried all combinations of right/left control/win.

Can you do me a fav and start task manager and see if “windowwalker” is a running executable?

On Windows, even when PowerToys is not installed/running, holding the CTRL key and then pressing the Windows key should not show the Start Menu. If it does, there is either a problem with your keyboard or there is something else going on: are you running AutoHotkey or any other software that may be messing with the keyboard?

I checked, and yep it's running.
After the AutoHotkey comment I checked other stuff I was running. Turns out in my case the issue was start10. Remove that, and it all worked.
This caused both ctrl+win opening the start menu, and (among other things) for Window Walker not to respond. It seemed to have been the cause of Fancy Zones to not behave as intended, as well.
