have also reinstalled and re-placed the shortcuts in the shell:startup folder, but it still doesn't start together. Didn't use to happen.
What can I do?
script not in startup despite being included in win11?
Re: script not in startup despite being included in win11?
Check "Startup Apps" in Windows Settings. Your script should be listed there and turned on.
If AutoHotkey.ahk is in your Documents folder, you can put a shortcut to AutoHotkey.exe in startup instead. It's what I do, and it works on my Windows 11 system.

still looking for a solution.
Re: script not in startup despite being included in win11?
@lexikos where is AutoHotkey.ahk? I see no such file:
If I associate the file type to SciTE4AutoHotkey then I it won't be able to run scripts by clicking on their icons and be able to use SciTE4AutoHotkey to save with the .ahk file extension without having to type it. Also associating the file type will make scripts that are put in the startup folder to open in SciTE4AutoHotkey.

Re: script not in startup despite being included in win11?
I too am having exactly same problem on Win11 22H2 Build 22621.1485
Some items/programs, when put into the common or admin's startup folder are run correctly when the admin/user logs in.
But some, like Utorrent, and ahk scripts pose problems (read 'don't run').
I've tried many solutions over many days. But have not come to know yet if the problem lies with Ahk script files, or with windows. I've also tried inserting those programs shortcuts to windows registry to make them run. Have also tried to create windows scheduled tasks for them. But even though some simpler programs, like notepad, do run. but those which were posing problems, didn't run with these alternatives also.
I'm the sole admin on this local work group pc. No network, no special environment, nothing.
I'm pretty sure that such problems only started after updating windows11 to current build and after updating ahk to v2 (although now problem doesn't go away, even if I uninstalled ahk v2.0).
Could anyone guide or tell if this could be windows or ahk or utorrent problem?
