Windows 10: Windows 10 Startup Batch Script stopped working

Hi all,

Quite a while ago I have created a startup script that does some basic file copying. It's nothing fancy: it runs after I log on to Windows and copies a few files. The batch file is in my "Documents" folder, I placed a shortcut to it in the "Startup" folder using "shell:startup". The shortcut is still there and I can run the script manually at will, both from the shortcut or the file itself.

But it no longer runs at startup, whether I shut down or restart. Any clues for me? TIA!

Windows 10.0.19042.868

Run the audio troubleshooter from a batch script

I have an automated home theatre setup - a batch script that enables my TV as a display, and changes the TV to be my primary display (so games and apps open on my TV instead of my monitor).

The same script also changes my default audio device to be the TV.

The problem is every time I turn off my TV, it disappears from the list of audio output devices in Windows 10, and even when I turn it back on, it does not appear in the list. However, if I RIGHT CLICK on the audio icon and select "troubleshoot sound problems"
and immediately cancel/close the troubleshooter, the TV is automagically added to my list of output devices.

My question is - is there any way to have this troubleshooter be launched from a batch script and instantly closed? Alternatively, is there a way to force a refresh of the audio devices through a batch script?

 

startup scripts

I want to put this command in a startup script:

xset m 0 0

I believe it disables mouse pointer acceleration and sets a common sensitivity. I can input this through the console but I want it to be permanent and so I think it needs to go in a startup script. How can I do this? I use Ubuntu (Hardy Heron).

Cheers.
