AutoHotKey

"this software cannot be used at the same time as the game. Please make sure its not running or restart your pc (84):AutoHotKey " 

Alright, this was happening with skate too, After a restart it would go away, or somtimes still persist. 
I was in the middle of a BF6 game and my came blackscreens, closes, and shows this message. im getting sick of seeing it. 
--------------
Do i have it installed ? 
No

Do i have any of the related files for AutoHotKey on my pc ? 
No

how was it removed ? 
About a few months ago atleast , i uninstalled it normally, then this problem persisted so i re installed it and FULLY wiped all possibility of it still being on my pc using Revo uninstaller ,
After doing so it worked and i did not get this message for a day atleast. Now my pc has been on all night since for atleast 8-9 hours. 

It let me open the game, but then randomly halfway through a match, it closed and gave me this message Again.

Has anyone figured out how to stop this ? or are do i gotta just refund all the prior games from EA for even allowing such a dumb bug to persist

    It might be detecting a different program as if it were autohotkey (or that a program uses autohotkey scripting that's being detected).

    Doing some googling and found a few people saying that program's being seen as autohotkey include:

    • MicMute
    • GameCompanion
    • fnlock.exe
    • TCNo Account Switcher
    • DimScreen (or some other screen dimming software)
    • VPN's being used.
    • Found someone in BF1 who had Windows Defender causing it.
    • Rainmeter


    You might need to try one by one with task manager and individually shut down programs 1 at a time, and check if BF6 will load. Then if you load, then it was the last program you shut down.

    Did you make any autohotkey script exes? Those don't require autohotkey to be installed.

    I have one that I put in my startup (to disable Windows 10's stupid win+tab task view garbage) and I have to close it before I can load BF6.

    I just wanted to add too, theres nothing in task manager or even viewer showing any processes to do with AHK
