Endless startup loop

[rmwolfe]

I've been using AHK for at least 10 years. My Win 10 computer got the OS corrupted, and OS had to be reloaded. When I installed the latest AHK and tried running my old AHK script by double-clicking or drag-and-drop, it goes into an endless loop, with infinite copies opened; computer freezes.

What's going on? Did AHK change recently and something needs to be added to the top lines to prevent endless looping?

Can you post the script?

Here is the top of the script; the rest is straightforward commands: Send, Sleep, Click, a few messageboxes. Nothing fancy.
--------------------------------------------------
#Hotstring EndChars -(){}:;'"\,.?! `n `t
DetectHiddenWindows, On
DetectHiddenText, On

; Note You must put a "send" in front of variable; cannot use on same line as hotkey
SetTimer, ReloadScriptIfChanged, 1000 ; this automatically reloads the file when it's changed and then saved
ReloadScriptIfChanged:
{
FileGetAttrib, FileAttribs, %A_ScriptFullPath%
IfInString, FileAttribs, A
{
FileSetAttrib, -A, %A_ScriptFullPath%
TrayTip, Reloading Script..., %A_ScriptName%, , 1
Sleep, 1000
Reload
TrayTip
}
Return
}

-----------------------------

Someone wrote that this line can stop duplications:
#SingleInstance force ;If this script is already running, terminate it and load a new instance

I'm not sure I want endless terminations and reloads, but if this does the trick, fine.

I should add: I ran the script on an older version of AHK => no problem

I also removed the SetTimer, ReloadScriptIfChanged lines, and added #SingleInstance force
and the script did fine; the endless looping stopped. I presume the problem is in one of those code sections.
