Media Keys Not Working Windows 10
Media keys problems on windows 10 - posted in Ask for Help: Hey, I have this script that listens to media keys and sends same key. I do this to ensure that all programs can listen to those media keys, as programs like chrome seem to have problems with media keys normally. AutoHotkey in Windows 10 - Hotkeys not working in some applications. Now that I upgraded to Windows 10, it isn't working when certain windows are active. Specially LButton -Hotkeys can mess up everything, leading to the situation where you actually need Task Manager.

Have you ever wondered how to make the media keys on your keyboard actually work for Winamp? Reader Shawn was asking me this question a while back, but then he figured it out on his own and sent me the instructions.
Turns out it’s incredibly simple, and on most installations will be already set by default, but might not be enabled. If yours are not working, then you need to follow these instructions.
Open up the Winamp Preferences and the browse down to General Preferences Global Hotkeys.
The first thing you should check is whether the “Enabled” hotkey is checked. If it’s not, then select that and most likely that will fix your issue.
If you need to manually change the settings instead, select the Action in the list, and then click inside the Hotkey textbox. Press the media key on your keyboard representing the function you are trying to do. For instance, I selected the Playback: Play/pause action in the list, so I pressed the Play button on my keyboard, which shows up as Play/Pause in the hotkey box.
Make sure you click the Set button when you make the change.

Being that Windows 10 was just released, this is very relevant question and I'm sure that many users will appreciate help in getting their scripts to run properly on this new OS. It's possible someone thought that this question was to broad in scope or maybe improperly classified, as it's a Windows issue rather than a specific AutoHotkey problem?
From my understanding the issue lies in new UAC settings. A simple solution is to run your script as an Administrator. To do this right click on the file -> select 'Run as Administrator'
Edit:
I don't have a direct answer to give regarding running an application or file always as an Admin (in Windows 10), but this guide I found seems to cover every way possible to do so in Windows 10.
Another alternative is to have the script check if it is running as Admin, if not reload as Admin. Code was pulled from the Help File:

errorsevenCheck 'run this program as administrator' in:
autohothey.exe > properties > compatability > settings
glautrouEverything Search Engine was also not working for me.
Before, compiling the .ahk script to .exe would solve any issues.
Windows 10 gave me problems again.
The following information helped me fix it:
On Windows 8 and later, UAC can only be disabled by modifying the registry, and doing so breaks apps.
As I said, 'turning off' UAC in Control Panel on Windows 8 and later just suppresses the Yes/No prompts; programs are still run with limited privileges by default.
disable UAC via the registry, you’ll need to head to the start menu search box and type in regedit.exe and browse down to the following key:
Over on the right-hand side, you should see a setting for EnableLUA, which you’ll want to customize as follows:
Also on the howtogeek page:
Just download, extract, and double-click on the included ReallyDisableUAC-Win7.reg file to disable UAC.
You’ll need to reboot for the setting to actually take effect.
There’s also an included registry hack file to re-enable it as well.
Disable UAC completely. As you noted, this will kill apps on Windows 10 (or 8).

Create a patched executable using EnableUIAccess, and then use that executable to run the script.
Try starting your exe with admin rights (i.e. right click on your exe and then run as administrator).
