    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?

    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.

    Windows logo key getting pressed automatically

    Windows logo key getting randomly activated.

    I have an HP Pavilion laptop 15-cs3 with Windows 10. Since today morning, I have faced the problem that pressing keys on the keyboard would open shortcuts rather than typing. After a lot of analysis, I realized that the Windows logo key is getting randomly
    activated, and pressing it deactivates it for a while. Then, the moment you start using the keyboard, after a couple of presses it gets activated again. The Windows logo key is NOT stuck, I have ensured that. A few things I tried after reading up on the internet
    about this issue are:

    • Uninstalled the keyboard driver from the Device Manager and rebooted my laptop
    • Disabled sticky keys
    • Ran a keyboard troubleshooter (no issues found)
    I am pretty clueless as to how to resolve this issue and it is causing me a lot of stress, as I use my laptop a lot.
