Description
When I run this script and press Alt+F4, the current active window closes, as if the script was not running at all.
func foo ()
MsgBox (4096, "", "Alt+F4 is pressed")
endfunc
HotKeySet ("!{F4}", "foo")
while True
Sleep (1000)
wend

By no means! In the topic to which I gave the link, noticed:
AutoHotKey work without any problem under Windows 10

I also checked with AutoHotkey and I have the same positive result.

The fact that AHK honours the combination means nothing - if they wish to mess with Windows reserved keys than that is their problem, not ours.

It appears that that key combination is reserved in Windows 10, you can use it with another modifier key such as control or shift, but not by itself.
Use something else.
