    Key stays pressed (not phisically)

    Hi to all!

    I'm opening this topic because I did not find anything related to my issue.

    I work as ICT and I have a colleague who has the PC that randomly stays on the last letter pressed, generating a long row of text with the same letter.

    The issue happens with different letters and with different programs.

    I was thinking about to do a fresh installation but before doing this I want to be sure that it is the only solution.

    Thank you and have a nice day,

    Davide

    Hi,

    I apologize for not addressing you in a timely manner.

    I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if that resolves the issue.

    Method 1: I suggest you to run System File Checker, which will check your system for missing, corrupt or damaged files and attempt to fix them.

    Please refer the article on “How to run System File Checker” and check if that helps.

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files - Microsoft Support

    Method 2:

    DISM:

    If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:


    • Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.

    • In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

      DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

      DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth


    • Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
    Hope the information helps. Please keep us posted on Windows related queries and we will be happy to assist you further.

    Zippy! Automatic Button Pressing program.

    Are you only using the hook to catch the key to use for sending input?

    I can think of a couple ways to grab input without the hook. Maybe you can run through the virtual key list with GetAsyncKeyState() and flag what's pressed. From there you can just build your list of keys to mash and fire them off with SendInput(). Some food for thought, probably get you out of AV flag territory.
