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.

Syntax for Batch file &/or powershell script to run multiple commands

Thank you for this. I have a question though. This opens a command prompt as administrator. Is that what all batch files open?

 

Batch file, PowerShell guides

Personally, if I was going to sit down and study something it would be powershell not individual commands in batch files.

Here's an introduction to batch files - The Command Line in Windows Batch file basics
And here are some guides by the excellent RobvdWoude
Batch files - RobvdW
Batch File Scripting Techniques - RobvdW
Batch Files Examples - RobvdW
and some reference guides on individual commands
<command> /? produces an up-to-date Help file for most commands, this is the only known source for up-to-date, Windows10-specific Help.
Command-Line Reference - MSDocs {note that the guidance might reflect variants of the command such as older versions or non-WIndows10 versions}
Windows command index - SS64 {note that the guidance might reflect variants of the command such as older versions or non-WIndows10 versions}
Just to emphasise the point, the Windows 10 netsh command is a significant step forward from its earlier versions but there is no online guide for this version. All online netsh guides are out-of-date or refer to non-Windows10 variants of the command.

And powershell guides -
PowerShell Scripting - The Basics - TenForumsTutorials
PowerShell Scripting - Run a Script from Shortcut - TenForumsTutorials
PowerShell commands index - SS64
PowerShell Tutorials - Windows10Forums [2017] - I am normally wary of this website for reasons that I cannot remember [lots of content copied from this forum possibly?] but their PS tutorial seems OK.
Mastering PowerShell with Dr. Tobias Weltner [2009] - I've just added this one. Its original website was no longer available so I had to track it down.

And remember - if it doesn't feel like you're banging your head against the wall, it isn't proper programming.

All the best,
Denis
