FYI: I have installed iType and reproduced the problem. I also have found out what changed in 2.18.6 to cause this weird behavior and will fix it in the next 2.19 beta (19). Sorry for the late response. That's great to hear! Thank you so much for taking the time to fix this relatively-niche issue. ...

Scratch that, I found the issue. IType.exe from Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center was causing the problem, somehow. I killed the process and XMBC no longer has any issues using the Play/Pause command. Unfortunately, a few functions on my keyboard don't work without IType.

So while going through my programs, I stumbled upon something interesting. If my currently active window has elevated privileges (e.g. task manager, anything ran as administrator), I'm able to trigger the play/pause command with my mouse. There's no way for me to completely disable UAC in Windows 10...

OK I can see from the log snippet that XMBC is definitely sending the play/pause key (as can be seen by it then receiving 0xB3 which is the virtual key code for play/pause)... Do you know what version of XMBC you cam from where it previously worked - we could try downgrading to see if it then works...

My guess, which is completely speculative, is that there is a native media control being sent quickly, and some emulated event also being triggered at a very minor delay. When tabbed in, the delay is less prominent and so sometimes they line up and pause properly. We can also rule out this hypothes...

I've narrowed down the relevant events for testing both with the XMBC window inactive and then again with it active.
