In the past week, has suddenly stopped working. Workaround: Reinstall and works for a while.

I have used this amazing application for years. But in the past week, it has stopped working twice. The app was running and settings correct. I tried opening and closing the app to no avail. Both times, reinstalling fixed the situation.
I recently installed AutoHotKey and have a script that launches at startup, but I do not have any shortcuts that use the spacebar or any similar shortcuts to TouchCursor. Only CTRL+SHIFT+Letter shortcuts.
The time between the failures was about 2 days. It might be relatated to rebooting the computer. I think I rebooted both times before it happened and thinking perhaps it will happen again if I reboot and try it. I will report back.
Thanks.
Happened again today. Again, reinstall fixed it. I have no idea what's going on. Even AutoHotKey service was shut down and it still happens.
This sort of behaviour may be caused by programs fighting over the order in which they intercept keystrokes. Many years ago this was problem with VMware. In response to that, TouchCursor was made to periodically re-subscribe to keyboard events so that it gets to the front of the queue and gets to process keystrokes before any other program.
Maybe you have some new software that is mangling your keystrokes and doing something similar so that it processes them first.
For now, all I can suggest is disabling any sofware that you've installed recently to see if you can find the culprit. If you manage to find out what's interfering with TC, please report back!
