You can automate many tasks on your Windows 11 PC using batch files. I’ll explain what a batch file is, how you can create one, and show you some interesting and useful uses of these files.

Any task that can be performed from a command line can be used in a batch file. Even though batch files are not as robust as programming languages, they can be much easier to create and use.

If you need to edit the batch file later, browse to the Startup folder in Windows Explorer, right-click the file and click "Edit." Double-clicking the file will run the batch file immediately.
