help wanted pls

26 Feb 2018, 12:11

Hello, i'm a noob with this so i wonder if someone can help me with the following;

i need to have the F3 key pressed about 2 minutes after windows 10 has rebooted.

After a reboot windows starts my miner, then it starts MSI Afterburner. Two minutes later Afterburner needs to switch to a different profile via F3.
There is probably a simple solution to this but after a few hours search on web i couldnt find anything that works.
Is it possible in Autohotkey?

Thanks.

Code: Select all

Sleep 120000
Send {F3}
If you put this in your startup folder so that it runs on bootup then it will sleep for 2 minutes then seen F3 to the active window. If Afterburner is not the active window then you can use the command WinActivate to activate the window first. You can read the docs on the command for usage.

Exactly what i wanted, thanks a lot FanaticGuru!
Didn't even had to use the WinActivate to get it working.
