.bat file working on one windows 10 computer but not another, just giv

I have a .bat file that works fine when being run on my main pc, but on a laptop that I just did a fresh install of Windows 10 on, it does not work if I type it in and just gives me the error XXX is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file. But if I double-click on the file itself, it opens as it should, but I need to add more to the command line after it to make it work properly.

Does anyone know what is causing this, and what I can do to make it run? Is there some software that's missing?

Thanks!

What is the file named and where is it located?

Open a cmd prompt then type

set

the folders for path the file must be in one of those in order to be found and run if not you will have to give a full path to it

How do I add it into there?

just enter full path to run ie C:\Users\user\Desktop\download_all.bat

Is Controlled Folder Access enabled? Change Windows Defender Controlled Folder Access Settings - Windows 10 Windows 10 Tutorials

What if you move the batch file to C:\temp?

If you copied that command exactly as samuria wrote it and your name is not 'User' then it wouldn't work. Instead, try...
%userprofile%\Desktop\download_all.bat
...which should work whatever account name you have.

Ill try that, I did make it say my account name, so i dont think your idea is going to work, but ill give it a shot.
