I’m using the portable version on a computer where I don't have admin rights. I often need to reload FastKeys for it to recognize my shortcut commands. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a workaround? It’s extremely frustrating.

This means that another program on your computer takes the control over the "keyboard hook", preventing FastKeys to use it. Known programs include Microsoft Powertoys, VDOS, Microsoft Intellitype, clipboard, keyboard or typing managers etc.

Check also antivirus or other security software - look for the features called "keyboard logger protection" or "keyboard hook detection".
