Keyman causing Windows 10 to crash

I’m using Keyman 16.0.145 on a Dell laptop running Windows 10, and I’ve encountered a strange problem. Periodically when I switch from a non-Keyman keyboard, like the English keyboard that came installed with my computer, to the Keyman IPA keyboard it will cause the computer to crash. The mouse stops clicking and instead either starts selecting everything, or will open new windows (e.g., clicking on an existing instance of a browser in a taskbar won’t bring it to the forefront, but instead open a new instance of that browser), and the keyboard inexplicably starts typing only in capital letters, even when I switch to another keyboard. The only solution I’ve found to this is to close all programs and restart the computer. Just restarting Keyman or other programs doesn’t solve it. I’ve checked if Keyman needs updates and that doesn’t seem to be the issue; it’s persisted through multiple updates and wasn’t caused by any particular update as far as I can tell. Anyone else found a way to solve this issue or to make it go away for good?
