After a not specified time no more Keyboard recognition
« on: March 03, 2023, 07:44:26 AM »
After some time, suddenly my keyboard inputs are no more recognized by VA.
I tried to switch the Keyboard Shortcut button, tried Profile Reset,  Stop All Commands ... nothing works.
I need to restart VA.
I created a MiniDump of VA which i attached. Maybe it helps.

It is possible that another application is taking over and breaking your keyboard hook.  You will need to see if there are any other applications that may be interfering.

When the issue occurs, try executing a command containing the "Windows Miscellaneous Functions" action set to the "Reset Keyboard Shortcuts" option.

If a message appears in the log about an invalid hook handle, wait a few seconds, then execute the command again.


If the keyboard hook (the Windows API component used to receive and handle keyboard input) is getting broken by another application, that'll reinstate the hook and allow keyboard input to work, until it's broken again.
