My system…
- Keyboard: HP Premium USB (cable)
- OS: Windows 11
- Port: USB 2
How to reproduce…
- Enter Windows standby mode
- Resume Windows
- In the first few minutes, the keyboard still works fine
- However, after a few minutes, the special characters (¦, @, #, ...) that need the
ALT Cntrlkey stop working
What I have tried…
- Unpluging the keyboard USB cable and reconnect it (issue persists)
- Restarting Windows "solves" the issue
- Disabling selective USB suspension mode (issue persists)
- Restarting USB device (issue persists)
Current solution…
I managed to set up an AutoHotkey script, that solves this issue for the most used characters in most scenarios, but there are input fields where AHK does not work either:
<^>!2::Send {ASC 64} ; @
<^>!3::Send {ASC 35} ; #
Is there a better way to solve this issue?
I first thought it was due to my old PC and/or Windows 10. But now, since I just got a brand new PC with Windows 11, the issue still persists.
Windows Support couldn't solve the issue.
