New F77 Keyboard having controller issue

Hi

Just bought F77 keyboard. https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/product ... a-compact/

I have it connected to a windows 10 PC. Each night I put my PC to sleep.

Normally when I take the PC from sleep I touch a key on the keyboard. This brings up the welcome screen on windows. Then pressing another button brings the login edit box; just like normal.

However this is not happening with this keyboard:
When waking from sleep you touch the keyboard and it repeats the same character over and over and due to the fact loads of keyboard keystrokes are happening it jumps straight to the login page and fills the login edit box constantly until I press any key and it then stops. I have to clear the edit field and enter my usual password.

Once logged in it operates normally, All key are working and nothing seems out of place.

PC is not new and never had this issues with other keyboards.
Windows 10 is up to date

Thoughts?

Have you connected it directly to a USB port of the PC or are you going through a Hub, Screen, etc?

I had this issue with several keyboards before, but it was quite some time ago. Must have been on normal boot, since I always shut down my PC instead of just putting it in sleep mode. Not sure if I can recreate this. I always thought it was a Windows thing ...

I couldn't replicate on my Windows 11. When I put it to sleep, I could wake it up and log-in. Could also be a BIOS thing. You might also want to flash a firmware with NKRO disabled. Some BIOS' hate NKRO.

Been told: NKRO is disabled by default in the factory firmware.
