Describe the bug
After a time of perfectly working setup (2 PCs onwindows 10). When i press the "/" key, it automatically puts everything on caps lock. In order to come back to normal keys, i noticed that i must press again "/" key, and after a random number of press, the caps lock are desactivated. If i press again "/" Caps lock is retriggered. It is annoying for me because I remapped caps lock to return key (with sharpKeys utilitary) so it makes the key "/" almost unusable.

To Reproduce
It have a part of random but on my setup it happens after I push the "/" key if barrier is running for too long.
Note: It always happens on the client (not on the server).

Expected behavior
Caps lock should not be triggered when i press the "/" key.

NOTE
I noticed that the bug appears when in logs i have "found key in group 0." After restarting completely barrier and its service, if i see "found key in group1" I know the bug won't be active :

[2021-03-15T13:25:51] INFO: found key in group 0 -> problems with "/" key
[2021-03-15T13:29:34] INFO: found key in group 1 -> no problem with "/" key

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows 10 Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0
Barrier version 2.3.3-release-3395cca9

Additional context
I am searching a way to find a workaround, but for now I have to restart completely barrier , or not use the "/" key while barrier is running.

(Apart from this problem, this program is fantastic, thank you !)
