Method 2: Use the “/k” option
The next easiest method to prevent Command Prompt from closing after running a batch file is to use the “/k” option. This option tells the Command Prompt to stay open after executing the command.
To use the “/k” option, simply add it to the end of your batch file command. For example, like your following batch file command:
@echo off cmd /k echo “Hello World!”
This way, the Command Prompt will remain open after executing the command.
Method 3: Add the “cmd” Command at the End of the Batch File
Another way to prevent Command Prompt from closing after executing a batch file is to add the “cmd” command on the last line of the batch file.
An example goes like this:
@echo off echo Hello, world! cmd
Conclusion
Running batch files in Command Prompt is an important part of managing the system in Windows 11. However, the issue of Command Prompt closing itself can hamper your productivity. By following the steps above, you can resolve this issue and keep track of the execution results of your batch file.
Remember to always exercise caution when making changes to your operating system, and make sure you understand the effects of each step you take.
