If you are suddenly having problems with your Triquetra-CNC touch probe, you might find the following interesting.
I would like to commend Charley for his excellent service.

Thank you very much for your quick response. Good work on coming up with a temporary fix in such a short time. I am certainly willing to revert to version 413 if it will get me going again. If you can edit the code I sent you, please proceed. If you need anything else, please let me know.

You are the second person that reported this to me. I worked with the first guy both on the phone and with a internet connection between my pc and his. We did get it working correctly but to do so he had to revert back to version 413 with carbide motion. That resolved the carbide motion part of the problem. However it left a problem that was apparently due to the Windows update as well. I was able to resolve that with a little code editing and now his works correctly. If you want to do the same then I can get you going again that way. I am trying to figure out what the deal is with the windows update still though.
If you want to revert back to version 413 and have me edit your code I will be happy to do that for you. This would be a temp fix until I resolve the second issue with windows.

Hello Charley
The AHK script that I have been using on my Shapeoko XXL for months has stopped working for reasons I do not understand. Since it last worked properly, a couple of things have happened which might be significant. Windows 10 was updated and Carbide Motion was updated to the latest version 513. Unfortunately, both of these updates were applied sequentially.
The script commands are visible as they are being sent to the MDI window but the cutter does not respond properly. It moves in inappropriate directions and does not zero. In an attempt to fix this, I used Windows restore to back out the Windows update and I reinstalled the previous version of Carbide Motion. This caused somewhat different, but still inappropriate behaviour. I also tried installing the latest version of Auto Hotkey. No improvement.
I have attached a zip file of the AHK Gcode script that used to work.
This problem has me baffled and I would appreciate and suggestions.
