Hi Eli,
Thanks! You were correct. I found I also had to disable the modifier key combinations as well, so I did:
(define-key global-map [noname] 'ignore)
(define-key global-map [C-noname] 'ignore)
(define-key global-map [M-noname] 'ignore)
Your input that I should have reported this earlier is well taken - then perhaps Emacs could have been updated long ago to simply ignore these nonname pseudo keys by default or a workaround documented.
Again, thanks for reaching back out to me on this!
Best regards,
Rick

This is produced if Emacs receives the 'noname' (VK_NONAME) pseudo-key
key-press event from Windows. It sounds like DishAnywhere and
SlingPlayer are sending these pseudo-keys to make sure the system
doesn't go to sleep when these applications are active.
Does typing the below inside Emacs make the problem go away?
M-: (define-key global-map [noname] 'ignore) RET

If you see this since Vista, it would mean you are aware of the
problem for at least 10 years, maybe longer. I can only say it's a
pity you didn't report this earlier. Please in the future try to
report problems with smaller delays, thanks in advance.
