How to build AHK scripts automatically on startup?

Question

Each time I restart my computer, I have to rebuild all my AHK Scripts so the keyboard shortcuts will work.

For instance, I have a script that assigns Ctrl+j to set up an instance of the MEAN stack and open my web site. After restarting my computer, pressing ^j does nothing until I go into Sublime and ^b (Build). ^{_{I could build from AHK, but I do a lot of work in Sublime, so it's easier to build there.}}

How can my AHK Scripts automatically build on startup?

---

What I've tried so far:

• Looking to build a post startup, startup script: This Is concerned with using an AHK script to start many programs on starup. I use Windows' Task Manager > Startup to do this, thus has nothing to do with making. I want to not have to rebuild all my scripts after every restart.

• Windows 10 - run script on windows startup problem: This assumes the start script is already written and implemented. However, it doesn't appear to give the script.

• AutoHotKey FAQ: I eventually found a solution here, but it took a long time to dig through the questions so I figured I'd post a question anyway to help others who run into this.

Answer 1

Simply add a shortcut (don't need to be the actual file) of your script in the Windows 'Startup' folder.

Three ways to get there:

1- In Windows Explorer, go to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

or

2- Start > Programs > Startup

or

3- Open Windows' Run application (Windows + r) write shell:startup in the edit field and click on the 'ok' button.

ps: Win10 blocks scripts in startup with AHK running as admin... read the comments of this post for extra info.
