Windows 10: One key press generates endliess repeating

Hi

I had an old keyboard where sometimes one key click generated an endless repeating of that click. Something like Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I had to click on other keys and backspace until it stopped, until the next time it occurred. Because the keyboard was old, I thought it was a keyboard problem so I bought a new one (logitech), the simplest one.

It took 2-3 days until the problem happened again. I started wondering if it's not the keyboard's problem but something else, maybe with the OS/driver etc... Not sure if related, but sometimes the mouse (which is still old) is not responding for several seconds and then it is released and continue working with no problem.

What can I do to check the source of this problem?
Thanks

Zippy! Automatic Button Pressing program.

Wouldn't it have been more expedient to ditch the GUI and make Zippy! a hot key activated app?
(Similar to how TPUCapture works)
For instance ... Zippy! is running in the background. The user presses a key combo (say Alt-Z) to tell Zippy! to repeat the next key/mouse click it sees until the hot key combo is pressed again?
So Alt+Z and then left mouse click tells Zippy! to repeat the left mouse click until Alt+Z is pressed again.
That would completely eliminate the need for profiles.

Just a suggestion for version 2.0 *Wink
As always, good work Ford. Definitely useful with Minecraft. *Toast :toast:

 

Booting without press any key

@dhievm go ahead and list the model number that gives exact specs/info.


Does it stop right at the Toshiba logo and sit there? Will it sit forever til you press a key, or will it eventually work after so long?
