Windows 10: I need to run htpasswd from inside a batch script using a variables

I have tried this every way i can think of.
the batch is in the same folder as the .htaccess file to be modified.
i can run the htpasswd file with -v and -b which should allow for batch and give me a clue of what went wrong if it does
i set a pause right after the statement runs
statement exact is htpasswd -b %name% %password%
next line types the .htaccess file to monitor and i can see the user and password have not been added
As far as i can tell that is the correct format for the command to add a new name and password to an existing .htaccess
Any advice appreciated but according to Apache I should be able to do this?
the one error that does pop up says something like users 3ae24b (which was the correct value for the login)not found but there is no ask for the user's login
the user's password is not mentioned.
Should I put the username variable and password variable in quotes?
How can i pipe this info into the htaccess file in batch using variable for the value of name and password


At this point, i have tried so many variations i cant imagine but i am beginning to make typos so stopping for the night

Run the audio troubleshooter from a batch script

I have an automated home theatre setup - a batch script that enables my TV as a display, and changes the TV to be my primary display (so games and apps open on my TV instead of my monitor).

The same script also changes my default audio device to be the TV.

The problem is every time I turn off my TV, it disappears from the list of audio output devices in Windows 10, and even when I turn it back on, it does not appear in the list. However, if I RIGHT CLICK on the audio icon and select "troubleshoot sound problems"
and immediately cancel/close the troubleshooter, the TV is automagically added to my list of output devices.

My question is - is there any way to have this troubleshooter be launched from a batch script and instantly closed? Alternatively, is there a way to force a refresh of the audio devices through a batch script?

 

Running PowerShell script as a batch file

Hello Baldo,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to execute the PowerShell commands as a batch file.



I tried executing the batch file on my machine but I was unable to execute it as the command was incomplete. However, after making some changes in the command I was able to execute the batch file.



You can try the following command by saving it in a batch file and check if that helps.



powershell –Command Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.3dBuilder | Remove-AppxPackage



Also, as the query is related to running a PowerShell script using a batch file, I suggest you to post the issue on

TechNet forums where we have professionals who have more knowledge about the issue.



Hope it helps.
