Windows 10: is there a way of pressing 6 keys at a time with a virtual keyboard?

i have an old computer emulator that requires me to press 6 keys at the same time to enter a test mode.

:)

 

Shift Key and Number key cannot be pressed at the same time.

Hello,

There are several factors why you are unable to use the shortcut keys function such as keyboard settings, or if there is an issue with the keyboard itself. To help you resolve this, kindly try the following suggestions:

• You might have selected an input language other than English. To work around with this, go to
  Control Panel > Region and Language and check. You can also check if your keyboard has a language selection available that may need to be changed.
• We suggest as well that you reset the keyboard layout by reinstalling the language and check if it fixes the issue. Follow the steps below:

• Press Windows+R keys and type intl.cpl. Hit Enter.
  
• Go to Administrative tab and click on
  Change system locale button.
• Select the correct language and country from the drop-down box.
• Navigate to the location tab and check if region settings are appropriate.
• Apply the changes and Windows will require a reboot.

Inform us for any updates regarding the issue so we can assist you further.

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.
