Check the value of Startup in registry:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
That's the right place you should put your script in.(And where you can change location of it)
Also if it's ahk file(s) you are putting, you should have already linked ahk files to be opened by AutoHotkey.
Update: run(win + r) or open in explorer address bar shell:startup / shell:common startup is another great way to open the right startup folder :)
Update, for win10: Open Task Manager (ctrl + shift + esc), switch to Startup tab, check the item corresponding to the one you put in the startup folder, if it's Disabled, right click it and Enable it.

I linked. When I click the ahk file in explorer, it will run it quietly.

I use Windows 10 LTSB. I will check eventvwr at the next boot. I will also continue to experiment with bat and exe files in different locations.

My AutoHotKey script starts on system boot and works in Chrome. However, it does not in AkelPad 4.8.0 (x86). To make it work there, I need to quit my AutoHotKey script and start it again. The similar situation exists with AutoHotKey partial competitor - Mahou. The creator of Mahou does not know the answer. Maybe someone has guesses?
