Question / Help Issues with hotkeys not working in OBS, how to investigate?

I'm having problems sometimes with the hotkeys (start/stop recording, save replay buffer). I suspect they keypresses aren't even reaching OBS but how would I investigate this? Is there an action log in OBS that logs the keystrokes?

Any ideas on how to debug this outside of OBS, do game keyboard hooks override OBS keyboard hooks?

Is OBS running as administrator?

No, can that be a factor?
I only thought that would be a limiting factor if the application(game) was also running in administrator mode, which they aren't. Or are they? Does Steam and Steam game run in administrator mode? I would think not.

I'll start running in administrator mode from now on, see if that helps. The problem is that the hotkeys sometimes work and sometimes not. I'll see if admin mode helps.
 
I also have the problem that my (application triggered) hotkeys often dont work. I assume it depends if the main OBS window is open - or if OBS only exists in systray (then it fails). I also wrote some AutoKotKey key forwarder in between, to no avail. AHK always gets my emitted hotkeys; but those that are forwarded by AHK fail to reach OBS (64bit, no application is running as Admin)


A AHK script to just send "F11" on startup is like:
Code: 
SendMode Input  
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% 
SetTitleMatchMode 1
DetectHiddenWindows, On 
ControlGet, HWND, hwnd, , , OBS
ControlSend, , {F11}, ahk_id %hwnd%

If anyone has an idea, Thanks in advance!
