AHK Scripts not working after PC turned off Topic is solved

[E_Holliday]

I have a few AHK scripts on my PC right now, and I realised that after I my PC turns off and is started again, I have to manually run the scripts in order for them to activate. Just wondering if it's a bug or if I have to write something in my script to have it automatically turn on the script when my PC starts again. I'll write one of my scripts below.

Code: Select all

; set number pad key

NumPad8::send {Volume_Up 1}
NumPad5::send {Volume_Down 1} 
NumPad7::send {Volume_Mute}
Return

Thanks!

That's intended.
But, you can put a shortcut to your script(s) into your computer's startup folder to automatically start your script(s) after a reboot.

Yes, imagine you have some script which causes errors (e.g. ctrl key pressed permanently).
Then a reboot would be your last chance to have the issue solved.

AFAIK "CTRL+ALT+DEL" would be that other (system low-level) option, where you can terminate AHK itself or the Explorer (that you can afterward re-run from the TaskManager as well (= an equivalent to a system restart).
