Every time I boot up my laptopo I have a message that states "Hotkey Utility Has Encountered A Problem and needs to Close" I Have tried everything and it has not worked

I found 15 search results for hotkey errors. The hotkeys are like The "Alt", "Esc", "Ctrl", etc. The easiest fix I can think of would be to try another keyboard since they are so cheap. The other solutions are likely in Control Panel under mice and keyboards.

ATK_Hotkey Utility: This is required to make use of all the function key shortcuts.
