On Windows 11, you can create basic and advanced batch files to run commands and automate tasks, and in this guide, I'll show you how.

Type the following command to run a Windows 10 batch file and press Enter: C:\PATH\TO\FOLDER\BATCH-NAME.bat In the command, make sure to specify the path and name of the script.

A batch file uses ".bat" as its file extension. You run batch files the same way you run other files—simply double-click a file to launch it. No third-party apps are needed to open batch files.
