Hi,

I'm running the latest version of Fastkeys.
This happens after putting my laptop to sleep. Upon waking the device Fastkeys text expander inserts wrong characters in place of my designated text. For example ($@-gt instead of the date.

I need to go to the Task Manager and kill the app from there and restart Fastkeys for everything to go back to normal.
If I close the app from the taskbar and restart. The problem persists.

Thanks

I suspect you are running other software which may be in conflict with FastKeys. Also check if you are not running double instances of FastKeys.
Could you think what you changed before this started to happen?

I run Breevy, another text expander (haven't fully migrated to Fastkeys) but it and Fastkeys were running fine together until a recent Windows 10 update. Sometimes I do see a duplicate instance of Fastkeys show up in the taskbar popup but not sure why.
