Windows 10: Alt key seems to get stuck since latest update (19042.985)

Since the latest Windows update (build 19042.985, version number 20H2) yesterday, I have had the same problem happen on two different computers. In both cases, the Alt key seems to get stuck so that, for instance, when I press Esc, I end up cycling through my windows and when I press Backspace, deleted characters are restored. Locking and then unlocking the screen seems to fix it, but I'm wondering what's going on because it's a bit annoying.
