    Pressing certain keybuttons on the laptop automatically loops the "-" button


    Yesterday, there was an issue with my laptop's "space" button. Every time I hit "spacebar" it makes space and then automatically types "-" which turns into a loop like this -------------------------------------------------------. This won't stop until you start typing anything else, pressing other buttons on the keyboard. However, later I found out that it also loops when I press:1. Arrow up2. Arrow down3. 0 on the numpad4. Left Ctrl5. Left Shift6. Z7. B8. N9. EnterIf I click on the "-" it doesn't loop. It just adds it one time. However, the "-" doesn't work at all on the side of the numpad.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 automatic repair fail loop

    Hi,

    We understand your concern and we will provide the assistance required to help resolve the issue.

    I suggest that you perform Power Drain which will help you skip the reboot loop and help you access the PC. To perform Power Drain, refer to the steps below

    • Unplug the charger and remove the battery of your laptop, if using a desktop remove the power cord.
    • Press and hold the Power button for 30sec
    • Plug the charger/power cord and restart system.

    Hope this helps

    Regards

    Automatic repair loop

    Hello,
    I bought this second hand laptop which was reset to factory settings and everything was working well, Windows 10.
    I wanted to access BIOS and wasn't sure whether it's the F1 or F2 key that I have to press (it's a Lenovo), so I kept pressing both intermittently as the laptop was preparing to boot. The result was that it didn't boot, but it went into the Automatic Repair Loop. I tried a bunch of possible fixes for this from YouTube, but nothing worked, so I'm still in the loop.
    Does anyone here have any suggestions on how to end this, please?
    Thanks a lot!

  4. Pressing certain keybuttons on the laptop automatically loops the "-" button

    Zippy! Automatic Button Pressing program.

    Warning: This application may be considered malicious by some anti-virus software and the like because it operates using a keylogger and can simulate keystrokes and mouse clicks.

    Warning 2: Some anti-cheat software like Punkbuster and/or Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) may flag this application as a hack, cheat, or otherwise unwanted. This application should be off (not in the system tray) when playing anti-cheat protected games.

    Zippy! basically either holds keys/mouse buttons or pushes them rapidly. It is very useful in games like Minecraft where you have to hold a key frequently in order to perform an action.

    On/Off Key: When pressed, activates and deactivates the selected profile.

    Profile Up Key: When pressed, selects the next profile. If "On" it will automatically deactivate previous and activate the newly selected profile.

    Profile Down Key: When pressed, selects the previous profile. If "On" it will automatically deactivate previous and activate the newly selected profile.

    Start in Tray: When checked, will automatically hide Zippy! in the system tray.

    Add/Remove Profile: Adds or removes a profile. All actions under a single profile will be activated when the profile is activated.

    Add Row: Adds a row to the selected row.

    To delete a row, click on the row in the left-most column (where the arrow is) and then hit the delete key.

    Device & Key/Button Name: Double click on either column to bring up the "Get Input" dialog. Press the key or click the mouse button you want to use in box (key doesn't have to be in box but mouse does) to assign it.

    Delay: 0 is the same as holding a key down. Any number greater than 0 causes a cycling pattern. For example, if it is 5000, it will press and release the key, wait 5 seconds, press and release the key, wait 5 seconds, press and release the key, etc.


    It saves/loads all settings when opening/closing the application.
