Run a script on start up on Windows 10

The startup folder is still there and functions as normal.

To access it, press Windows+R, then type shell:startup.

You should be able to do what you were previously doing in Windows 7 from there.

You can use scheduled tasks and set it to run at startup.

Go to Manage → Scheduled Tasks → Create a Basic Task.

Once at the dialog box, set a name, click Next and select at startup, Next again and select the program you want to run and next to finish. Done!

I have an MSI motherboard that is not playing nice with my beloved Gateway Anykey keyboard. Num Lock won't turn off at boot.

I added a "NumLock Off" utility to the shell:startup folder. No help. I added it to Scheduled Tasks and that worked. BTW, I couldn't schedule a shortcut to the utility. I could only schedule a batch file with the numlock.exe file and the "off" parameter on the command line.
