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!

If you don't have access to Windows+X functionality, you can navigate manually to the two startup folders:

• User: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
• All users: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

Here's a useful batch file to open either or both of these folders:

rem Load the current user Start folder
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

rem Load the "All Users" Start folder
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp"

Note: Above applies to Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 (and maybe earlier versions).

To add to user314352's answer:

You can also type shell:common startup to access the startup folder for all users.
