Windows 10: Automatically close CMD window after .bat file finishes?

I've got a little batch file I use to open two programs with one shortcut, and while it works, the CMD window remains open until I manually close it. There is an "exit" at the end, and I've googled for solutions for this but none of them worked.

@Echo off cd C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2020\Support Files start AfterFX.exe cd C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder 2020 "Adobe Media Encoder.exe" exit

It opens both programs, but then the CMD window just stays there and doesn't close unless I close it manually.

.bat files

it depends a little on what the batch file is doing, running from within windows it will open a cmd prompt run the commands and close the command prompt.

outputs from the commands (including errors) are lost when the batch file finishes and closes the command prompt.

if it is trying to run something that requires admin privileges, it will simply produce an error that is lost.

if you are running from a shortcut try cmd /k batchfile.bat
that should leave the command prompt open when the batchfile terminates

 

.bat file

A batch file (.bat extension) is basically a series of commands to be executed by the command-line interpreter. When you open the file, your system runs every command stored in the file from top to bottom, once the final command has been executed, it closes
itself indicating it has finished its job. However, everything happens so fast you think it closes immediately and that's completely normal.

If you want the command-line interpreter window to remains open once the last command has been executed, I suggest you do the following:

- Right click on the .bat file and click on the 'edit' button.

- It will open a notepad displaying a series of commands.

- Create a new line by hitting enter after the final text and type in 'pause' without quotes.

- Save the file and run it. This time the window will remain open.
