Falsely flagging AutoHotkey (84) and closing game

I've played Battlefield 6 (bought and played through Steam) for about 22 hours now, probably 35-45 matches at this point, and in 6 matches the game has closed mid-match to tell me I have AutoHotkey open:

 

I had never heard of AutoHotkey before this error started appearing, and I have never installed it on my computer. While troubleshooting, I learned the following programs could have it installed in the background:

  • Logitech G-HUB
  • any VPN
  • Rainmeter
  • micmute
  • razer synapse

I have never installed G-HUB, my VPN is not running in the background (on OR off) while I game, I close Rainmeter before I play BF6, I have never used MicMute, and Synapse has been on all 22 hours until today when I learned it could be a culprit. The only *.ahk files on my PC were in my Rainmeter projects folder, so they weren't getting executed since Rainmeter wasn't on, and those project skins weren't being used anyway.

Is there any risk of my account getting banned if it keeps falsely flagging AutoHotkey? I'm already upset that I spent $70 on a product that will shut off mid-game 10% of the time I play, but I'm not picking this game back up if I think I might be banned for no actual reason. This is extremely frustrating.

  • maybe clear out your registry cuz there must be something related to AHK that's flagging it.

    I'm not used to messing around in the registry, what do you mean by "clear it out"?
