Simply put, I've updated synapse 3 to synapse 4 and all batch files i’ve linked to my huntsman 2 keyboard work as intended, but a simple batch file to shut down the local pc fails.

I’m using Windows 11 25h2

I’ve tried the following

testing the batch file (works OK)

Reinstalled synapse 4 (still fails)

Used admin and set synapse to run as admin (still fails)

checked windows setting (all correct)

The thing is, in task manager i get multiple windows command processor items (every time i press the key to shut down the pc_.

And in eventvwr i get 2 restart manager events, 1 stating it started and one stating it ended 

And IT worked in synapse 3!

    Found the problem. In order to prevent pc shutdown when the button was accidental pushed, I had, in my batch file, a “pause” command. Before the actual shutdown command. And that was the issue. Removing the “pause” command returned the functionality. So issue “solved”.
