Vishwanath Tiwari proposed the following answer:
This issue happens because Windows Server 2022 is stricter with
simulated keyboard input than 2012, and SikuliX 1.1.2 is very old. A few
things you can try:

1. Make sure the target window is focused before sending keys:
   ```python
   App.focus("Notepad")
   type("a", Key.CTRL)   # safer than raw keyDown()
   ```

2. Don’t run SikuliX as a service or background task – it only works in
an interactive desktop session.

3. Temporarily disable UAC or test in an RDP console session to rule out
security blocking input.

4. If possible, upgrade to SikuliX 2.0.6 – it has much better support
for Windows 10/11/2022.

In short: focus the app, prefer type() over keyDown(), and consider
upgrading SikuliX.
