Windows 10: Key repeating on login...

Not sure if this is a keyboard firmware issue or not, in which case I'll post on the forums there but I don't remember it ever happening prior to Win10..
So the circumstances are completely repeatable and happen every time I do the following...
I wrote a .vbs script to do the equivalent of essentially pressing Win+L to lock the desktop and go to the switch user screen.
Whenever I log in apparently when I get to somewhere I can type, the number 0 repeats infinitely until I unplug my keyboard and plug it back in... (last number in my pin) Note: keys do not repeat until after I log back in, because I can type my pin just fine...
I used to have one of my macro keys set to Win+L, but the L key would repeat after the switch user screen was reached, and would prevent idle 2 sleep function.
I have a Razer Black Window keyboard.
Strange part, is the vbs script is launched via a shortcut I double-click on my desktop....
Let me know what you think.
Thanks!

Windows 10 Lock Screen and Repeating Character

Thank you for your response.

I am unable to get past the login (enter password) screen to access any additional functions such as a clean boot.

As the character repeats, when I press the ctl key, it stops repeating. Release the key, the repeating continues.

 

Repeating Keys don't repeat

Hi,

I have the same problem but the two methods did not work for me.

Filter Keys is not turned on.

Is there any other solution?

 

Hi,

Look here & try the "True" statement at the end?

 

There is no firmware that is installed on keyboards. Sounds like your VBS program is the culprit. You do not need a program to lock the OS. Just set the timer at a shorter time or use your phone as a way to trigger automatic login and logoff when you walk away with the phone.

Trying to make Windows to do something that a two finger salute can do, is personally a waste of effort.

 

Thanks lottie I'll go ahead and try that in a few minutes and let you know what happens.
@bro67 " Trying to make Windows to do something that a two finger salute can do, is personally a waste of effort. "
Not when you have a loud mechanical keyboard, and you want to quietly lock your computer. It's right next to my shortcuts for changing the power-mode (time to sleep). Personally I think it's convenient.

 

So as far as I can tell, this fixed the issue. Although it hasn't been very long since I updated the script with your suggestion.
Just wanted to say thanks for helping me with this issue, it was really annoying having to disconnect & reconnect my keyboard every time I logged back in.

I'm going to give it a few more days before I mark this as solved, just in case.
