Windows 10: How can I make a .bat program close itself after it opens a file?

Hello,


so basically, I have a .bat program designed to open a file yes, only that, and I would like it to end itself immediately after opening said file.


The program:

"C:\Program Files x86\DesignFOIL\DESIGNFOIL_R6_DEMO.exe"

end


As of now, the program runs the file, but stays open until I close said file. I would like it to close itself instantly after opening said file.


How do I do that?


Also I apologize if this question is in the wrong forum section, I did not find a section specifically for CMD problems...


Thanks and have a great day!

:)

 

.bat files

when ever try to run a .bat file the program opens then closes straight away I need help with opening it.

 

Scheduled Task Won't Launch Program with .bat File

It's set to trigger the bat to open the program every morning at 2:20 a.m., and the one that closes it every night at 11:30 p.m.

But I have been just trying to run the task manually from task scheduler to test it and it doesn't open the program, even though double clicking the bat to launch manually it does open.

The action is to start a program "C:\Media Encoder BATS\ADOBE_ME_START.bat" and the other is "C:\Media Encoder BATS\ADOBE_ME_CLOSE.bat"

Script of start bat is:

@Echo off

start "Adobe Media Encoder" "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CC 2018\Adobe Media Encoder.exe"

 

.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.
