PC Something Strange Is Happening

[TWSFGaming]

This started a couple of weeks ago but whenever I try to use my second skill, which is assigned to my Q button, my windows cursor pops up. Which is getting really annoying. Anyone know what is causing this?

Sounds to me like key binding issue, not on the game's side, but the Windows side. I don't know of any program within Windows that allows you to rebind keys, but I do know there is third party applications that can do so, such as KeyTweak.

I've never personally had this problem, so not sure how good my word is.

okay I'll try KeyTweak and see if I have a key binding issue... thanks for the input HawK

OK, I believe his point was a third party program has attached itself to the 'Q' button.  A program like KeyTweak.  So if you have a customizable  keyboard or another program that allows you to bind a key to do something, that could be the problem.

Oh now I see, I misread it... whoops. Sorry about that, I'll check to make sure. Thanks for clearing it up!

 

[TWSFGaming]

Seems like I fixed it by uninstalling some programs I had on my computer... possibly one of them contained a program like KeyTweak... thank you all for your help. Cheers!

Well nevermind, it's still not solved...

try booting in safe mod with network - that will not run any third party programs - see if there is a difference.

Not quite. KeyTweak allows you to change Windows bindings. Say you wanted to change the location of the windows key to the "X" key. I believe it lets you create your own macros as well.

Have you tried another keyboard at all TWSF?

I don't own another keyboard HawK. Was planning on buying one in the future.

And how would I go about booting in SafeMode with my network... I'm kind of a noob with computers XD

its fairly easy - google it - there are a couple steps so easier to google than to explain.

Even picking up a cheap one from Best Buy is good for testing purposes. Saved me a lot of stress a couple times.

It also slightly changes between OS's. Which is why he recommends looking it up. Make sure to include the OS in your search.

okay, I'll try safemode and see if that helps.

To be a little more detailed - What safe mode with network does is startup only windows with network access.  Nothing else. Nothing not windows required except network support.  That way if you still have the issue its The Division configuration.  If the issue goes away - there is some third party program mucking around.

Now some keyboards can be programmed and older ones kept that configuration on the keyboard - so can you tell us what keyboard you have (make, model)?  Most newer keyboards can have special configs based on the active window - so those have a driver/app run to configure them - those will not be active in safe mode.

I hope this helps.
