Windows 10: How Do I Get Windows 10 To Allow .bat & .exe Files @ Startup?

Sorry, if I posted this in the wrong place!


Until recently, Windows 10 would allow a .bat plus a .exe file to run, during startup. This was what I wanted, because the .bat file would start a needed .exe program.


Yet, approximately 5 days ago, I had to switch software - which meant replacing the old .bat file, with a new one.


So, the new .bat file would start a new .exe program. This one was called: "t-rex.exe"; the .bat file would, among other things, start this .exe file.


Unfortunately, now, Windows 10 keeps preventing the new .exe file, from running. The OS reports:"'t-rex.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" - despite that I whitelisted both the .bat and .exe files plus the folder, from which they came!


How can I get Windows 10 to work, in the old manner?


How can I get it to automatically allow the .bat and .exe files?


Please reply.

Cannot run an .exe file from .bat file in windows server 2016

I can not run .exe file from a .bat file, .bat file is dynamically create file which contains path to the .exe file. I can see the log of .bat file it prints echo statements but when It comes to execute .exe file it just skip. when I run .exe file manually
it runs perfectly. we are doing this through task scheduler.

I would like to get some input what am I missing in the configuration.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
