Windows 10: Command Prompt - Unable to type while running batch

While I am running a batch in Command Prompt, it dosen't let me type when it asks me a question and I answer Y or N. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Clear command prompt history from within batch.

No and Yes.

You can set the size of the list of remembered commands to zero. This will clear all the history, but will also turn off recording any further history. So you should then set a size for the list. Use the command DOSKEY /LISTSIZE=0 after the line prompting for the password. eg..

Code:

 

Starting batch file only opens command prompt versus running the batch file?

I'm trying to run one batch file, then another. Instead of running the 2nd batch file, it just opens another black screened command prompt with the name of the batch file as the first line in the command prompt? Any ideas why?

 

Clear command prompt history from within batch.

I have a batch, running in "Command Prompt", that prompts for a password. For any number of reasons I can't guarantee that the window will close before exposing that data (arrow keys browse history list).

Is there a way to keep the password out of the list or is there a way to clear the list from within the batch itself?

Thank you.
