Hi all,

I'm coming into a weird scenario using AHK 1.1.33.10. What is expected to happen is when I "Run As Administrator" the attached text.ahk script it runs one instance of the script.

What happens instead is it somehow runs two instances simultaneously. I'm not accidentally clicking it open twice. Please see following youtube video:

Got any idea on wth is going on here?

This is a test script that runs as admin.

Code: Select all

If !A_IsAdmin && !RegExMatch(DllCall("GetCommandLine", "str"), " /restart(?!\S)") {
 Try Run *RunAs "%A_AhkPath%" /restart "%A_ScriptFullPath%"
 ExitApp
} Else CoordMode, Mouse

#IfWinActive ahk_exe test.exe
F3::Send x

#IfWinActive ahk_exe test2.exe
F3::Send y
#IfWinActive

If it works, expand it iteratively, testing carefully along the way.

Line 30 in your script will yield unexpected results. To prove it, you can run the following demo.

Code: Select all

If GetKeyState("LAlt", "P")
 F2::Send z

Read about #If in the documentation.
