AutoIT v3.3.16.1 oddly not taking argument on couple of my PCs, but is working perfectly on my other one.  Exactly the same code.

Any clue what's going on?

Try to display $CmdLineRaw and see what you get.

[argumentum]

does the association add %1 ??

To add some more information to what @argumentum is saying, check out: https://superuser.com/questions/1456692/how-do-i-set-advance-file-association-in-windows-10-while-passing-app-parameter

You may need to setup file associations again, or look into the registery for the au3 association and edit it to include the "%1"

Alternatively in SciTE you can set command line params with Shift + F8 for scripts run from SciTE directly. Or compile to .exe and test with that instead of the .au3 file.

you guys are geniuses.  though it did have the "%1", it didnt have the %*.  I patterned it from the computer that is working where i found the %*

My OS: Windows 11 Home (OS Build: 22621.1928)

Here's how it got fixed:

regedit

Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\AutoIt3.exe\shell\open\command

Change whats there from "c:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.exe" "%1"

to "c:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\AutoIt3.exe" "%1" %*
