The volume keys on the keyboard aren’t the only way to change the volume. You can edit it there directly and reload the script. It doesn’t need to be moved out of the Startup folder. You can change the volume level any time you want by editing the script. Move the script to the folder that opens. Use the Win+R keyboard shortcut to open the run box and enter the following. If you like the new way the keys work, it’s a good idea to move the script to the startup folder so that it will run automatically when you boot to your desktop. Tap the volume up/down keys on your keyboard and they should change the volume by the new level that you set with the script. Once you’ve saved it, you can test it out by running it. Save the script with the AHK file extension.
To change the volume decrease level, go to the following line in the script and change the numerical value at the end to whatever you like. To change the volume increase level, go to the following line and change the numerical value from +1 to whatever you like. You can set a different level for increasing the volume, and for decreasing it.
This script, as it is, will increase and decrease the volume by one but you can customize it to whatever you like. Open a new Notepad file and enter the following.
