Windows 10: Can we execute a batch file when we switch virtual desktops?

If we can't do this now:


In the following text, when the word batch is used but makes less sense than the word script, mentally replace the word batch with the word script


Can Microsoft create a program that executes a batch file whenever a new virtual desktop is chosen? So that, when I switch desktops, that batch file will run automatically or manually depending on a setting if I have typed a batch filename into the appropriate spot and the batch file exists in the appropriate directory.

That will allow me to put into a batch file a program which loads a different desktop configuration file if such a program can be created. I can also put into the batch file any other computer operations I want to be done when I choose a different desktop. Such as opening or closing files/anything that can be done from a batch file

Would Microsoft allow me to setup the batch file to be executed by switching to the task view, right clicking on a virtual desktop to open a context menu, selecting an option called something like "choose a batch file to execute when this desktop is selected" and allow me to choose the batch file with the file picker? Could it also be allowed for me to checkmark an option to have the batch file run automatically when I select the batch file.

Not to mention, that it would be nice if I can also manually execute the batch file associated with the current desktop without switching desktops, even if that means I first have to switch to task view and use the context menu on the virtual desktop.


Also,

Can Microsoft create a program that will swap the current windows desktop configuration files for another pre-made ones? Configuration of shortcuts/icons/folders/wallpaper/and anything else configurable And also allow us to save a current configuration as a file?

Unable to execute all commands in batch file

Hi,

I have a problem to execute batch file. There is an app running and monitoring UPS signal. If that signal goes true, the app will launch a batch file to close itself and then shutdown the PC after 30 seconds.

the content of the batch file is like this:

@Echo off

app.exe -exit

pause 30

shutdown.exe /s /t 5

However, it seems the system only executed the first two lines of commands
app.exe, it closed the app, and did not shutdown the PC. If I run the batch file itself by double clicking the batch file, all commands are executed and PC shutdown properly.

What is the problem and how to fix it? Thanks

 

Creating Shortcuts with Batch File

Tried both of the VB Scripts that you provided and adding the 9 switch to the batch file but neither was able to create a shortcut to my desktop.
