Starting a python file when a computer starts

I am trying to run a python file when my Windows 10 computer starts up. I've already coded the file. It asks for a password and if its incorrect, it shutdown the computer. If the password is correct, it ends the file and lets the user to continue.

I've looked around but all i can see is how to do it with batch files or solutions to do it when a user logged in, im the only one that uses my machine and there is only 1 user

I've heard something about searching for a 'startup' folder but cant find it. Any ideas?

P.s if you know how to get to the start up folder that could help as well

Place your python file in the Startup folder. The folder is located at 

C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Make sure you have enabled Show hidden files. The AppData folder is a hidden folder so you won't find it if you don't enable it.
