 For clarification, run the last WriteLog update you have, not Windows.

  Jamie, I just tested this set up for the 160 meter SSB contest module on my 
Windows 7 laptop and it worked fine. There is no issue using auto CQ on canned 
voice files, ESC to stop, then playing any other function keys after that. I'm 
running a beta 12.37 version but I don't think it makes a difference.
Occasionally the bandmap will break on a Windows 10 update. The fix for that is 
to re-run the last update. Try re-installing the last version you have 
installed and see if it fixes the problem. No need to uninstall anything. Just 
run the last update and try again. Let us know.
I'll try this tonight on my Windows 10 machine at home if I get a chance. 
Thanks to you I have all kinds of voice files recorded for WriteLog!

 I am running Windows 10.  Using the latest WL 12.36.
As I was getting ready for CQ160 SSB, I noticed an odd situation where if I 
used the <ESC> key to interrupt my Timed CQ, Writelog would then refuse to fire 
any recorded voice files after that <ESC> key interruption.  (It doesn't matter 
what F key is being used for the timed CQ message.)
The radio clicks like the PTT is being sent, but no voice file is sent by the 
computer.
The only way I could get it to work again was to close the program, and 
re-start Writelog (somewhat inconvenient during a contest).
If I don't use the Alt-T to set up timed CQ, then everything works fine in 
terms of Writelog transmitting the correct voice files.  
The issue does not present itself in CW, only with my voice files, which 
otherwise work fine.
But the timed CQ is a nice feature to have, instead of mashing the CQ button 
manually, every single time.
Just wondered if anyone had any ideas.
