I use

#SingleInstance force

on the very beginning of my script.
Still I receive the annoying message when starting another instance:

An older instance of this script is already running. Replace it with this instance?
Note: To avoid this message, see #SingleInstance in the help file.

Is there another word for synonym?

Maybe try using the Reload command

you could setup a key to execute the reload command and that would be the same as using #SingleInstance force

I couldn’t reproduce this problem. Try running the following script:

#SingleInstance force
MsgBox Launch the script again *without* closing this dialog.

If it works there, perhaps there is something unusual about your other script that prevents it from working. If so, I’d like to work with you to try to fix it.

Hi SanskritFritz,

a stupid question, but which version do you use?

NiWi.

You are right, the above script works ok, no warning message appears. My script contains some sensitive personal data, so before i post it here i have to strip it. But generally i have an autoexecute section where i modify the tray menu a bit and start a timer (250ms), then the subroutine for the timer where i auto close some windows and auto login to some systems as the login window appears, then lots of hotstrings, some window sensitive, and then lots of hotkeys where i modify many aspects of many applications. I also have some #includes for scripts i have downloaded: Volume OSD, and EasyWindowDrag. I had to split Volume OSD to an autoexecute section and a hotkey section, and include them separately. Feel free to ask more, i will post my script here on demand, but strip it first. Or i will try to reproduce it on a shorter version.
niwi, I use AHK Version 1.0.31.03.

Thanks for the description. I don’t see anything in it that would prevent #SingleInstance from working properly. It might be something simple like having another (conflicting) use of #SingleInstance further down in the script, or in one of the files that is #Included.

I’m also aware of one weakness in #SingleInstance: if a script is tied up waiting for a drive to spin up or a network connection to become available (etc.) it might be temporarily unresponsive to #SingleInstance.

Also, #SingleInstance relies on the title of the script’s main window to detect duplicate instances. If the title is altered or the script’s filename changes from one instance to the next, #SingleInstance will not work.

Thanks Chris that was the problem, so it was my fault, i forgot to delete the #SingleInstance statement in the #inlude file. Sorry for that.

Thanks for the follow-up. You could argue that conflicting uses of #SingleInstance should be a syntax error, but it probably shouldn’t be changed now since it would break a few existing scripts.

No, that is okay this way. You just concentrate on things much more important

— running my main script containing the following —

#Persistent
#NoEnv
#SingleInstance, Force
SetWorkingDir, %A_ScriptDir%
SetTitleMatchMode, 2

CheckForVersionUpdate:	; thank you, anonymous1184
VersionChecker := "C:\_PENsTools_\AutoHotkey_\AHK-Shorties\AHK updater by anonymous1184 v001a.ahk"
If FileExist(VersionChecker)
	RunWait, %VersionChecker%

	OutputDebug, AHK Version Checker not found in expected location!`n`n%scriptICON%
VersionChecker := ""

VerifyThisScriptRunningUIA:	; thank you, anonymous1184
If !InStr(A_AhkPath, "_UIA.exe")

		newPath := ""
		ExitApp
	} Else {
		OutputDebug, AHK is already running with UIAccess!
	}

— sometimes produces the following error —

An older instance of this script is already running. Replace it with this instance?

when running this code MsgBox, Hello via «Run Selected Text» a message pops up: An older instance of this script is already running. running the same code via «Run Comment Block» after commenting it out (+F1) does not trigger the «another instance» message box. IMO the latter is the expected/correct behavior.
selecting and running this code

#SingleInstance Force
MsgBox, Hello

will also trigger the message
