I have 3 different user accounts that I'll use depending on what I'm doing. I'm lazy and typing usernames is hard, so I have an AHK script setup to type out each of them for me. I mostly use this for RDP. This is never worked on UAC popups when trying to run something as admin, but I've learnt to live with that. Using it for RDP was where it was most useful.
The script is pretty simple, but it's worked well for me for the past few years. Ctrl + Shift + F1/F2/F3 will type each of the usernames for me.
^+F1::
sendraw Username_1
return
^+F2::
sendraw Username_2
return
^+F3::
sendraw Username_3
return
I was given a new work laptop this week and copied all my AHK scripts over and re-installed AHK (v1.1.37.02). Everything else is working as expected, but for some reason, now I cant use me username script to type my usernames into RDP login windows. It's just not typing anything. It will type out my usernames into Notepad without any problems.
And I've tried changing from SendRaw to Send, SendEvent, SendInput, and SendPlay with no success.
Anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this to no longer work the way it used to?
Unfortunately I cant go back to my old laptop to see what version of AHK it was running, it's already been wiped.
TIA
