Keyboard inputs being blocked?

24 Jun 2021, 09:22

Hello all,
I have had issues for the past couple of months and I gave up a while ago, but I want to try to figure this out now. For some reason when I try to run very simple AHK scripts, only the first letter of the first Send gets output, then it stops running.

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance Force
F12::

Send Sincerely,{enter}John Smith
This is my very simple Send and the only thing that will come out is the "S" in "Sincerely". Is there something that could be blocking the rest of my keyboard inputs? I even tried a different script program (Autoit) and it seemingly had a similar issue where it wasn't able to send keyboard commands.

Please help!

Possibilities:

1. Antivirus
2. Issue of admin rights
3. Conflicting software

Would try running as admin, & then also with disabling your antivirus. Close all other scripts & programs. Checking the KeyHistory may also be informative.
