Hotkey Makes Autohotkey Inactive Until Reload

Sorry for my bad English.

#IfWinActive, ahk_class PX_WINDOW_CLASS

~^s::
KeyWait, s, U
WinWait, This is an unregistered copy ahk_class #32770,, 500
IfWinExist, This is an unregistered copy ahk_class #32770
    WinKill, This is an unregistered copy ahk_class #32770
Return

My problem is sometimes when i press this hotkey (ctrl + s) it makes all autohotkey script hotkeys and autohotkey's tray menu shortcuts inactive (not paused or suspended, just hotkeys don't work). Why is that? How to fix this?

You provide very little information to go on... I could imagine that you might hit Ctrls e.g. to save a file while in PX_WINDOW_CLASS. If no window is activated at that time that matches your winwait, nothing will happen and AutoHotKey will sit and wait and wait...

Suggestion: shorten the timeout in WinWait, add an exit and remove superfluous lines 

SetTitleMatchMode=2 ; Find the string "This is an unregistered copy" anywhere in your Title
#IfWinActive, ahk_class PX_WINDOW_CLASS
    ~^s::
    KeyWait, s, U ; Why do you have this in there? are you hanging on your s key for more than 2 seconds?
    WinWait, This is an unregistered copy,,2 ; Wait for two seconds (or a bit longer..)
    if ErrorLevel ; If timeout of WinWait
        Return
    WinKill ; uses ID found in WinWait
    Return
#IfWinActive

or shorter...

SetTitleMatchMode=2
#IfWinActive, ahk_class PX_WINDOW_CLASS
~^s::
    WinWait, This is an unregistered copy,,2
    if not ErrorLevel
        WinKill ; uses ID found in WinWait
Return
#IfWinActive
