What's 2021 best method to get your AHK script to run at startup on a Win 10 64 bit PC?

[Timmy347]

I need to RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR otherwise some of my keys don't work

Many many posts online.
But some of the very old, and offering advice that's all over the park.

Can someone provide a little help on the best 2021 way?

I just have a few simple keyboard commands in my AHK file. Nothing fancy.

This idea any good?

Yep, the startup directory looks like a good one to me.

Oh shoot.

I forgot to put AS ADMINISTRATOR in my initial post.

I'm starting up the script via the Startup Folder now. But some of my keys don't work cuz it's not running as Administrator.

Thanks.

I'm new to this, and only have a simple script. Can you tell me how i would use that for this:

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
