When running a command at startup, it's best to use the full path of the application and the full path of any files passed on the command line. For example, run something like the following: "path\to\pythonw.exe" "path\to\AIG.py" This removes any dependency on the search PATH or the current working directory. Also, the script shouldn't depend on the initial working directory. Any files that it needs should be in a well-known location, such as the script directory, os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)). Also, there's no need to use a batch script just to run a single command. When you use a batch script, a visible console gets created for CMD. It doesn't close until CMD exits, which in this case won't be until pythonw.exe exits, unless you use `START` to run the command without waiting. It's simpler to just run the command directly using a shortcut (i.e. LNK file) or the task scheduler. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

However, my old windows 10 desktop crashed and I have a new Windows 11 machine. I installed the latest stable version of Python, which is 3.10. Now, when I try to execute the same batch file, it doesn't launch the app. It could be because I'm using Windows 11 or could be because I now have a newer version of Python. Does anyone have any ideas what I should do to get the Python script running on my new machine? The problem is probably that the Python folder isn't in Windows' search path, but the recommended thing to do nowadays on Windows is to use the Python Launcher "py.exe" (or "pyw.exe" for no console window) instead: pyw AIG.py -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Difference in Setup Between Windows 10 Running Python 3.9 and Windows 11 Running Python 3.10
Hello, I was recently running a Windows 10 machine Python 3.9. I simply created a batch file titled "Start-AIG.bat" which simply contained the following: "pythonw AIG.py". It started a python program titled "AIG.py" and the Python dialog box was displayed on my screen, running all day and night. I set up Windows to run this batch file upon startup and it worked fine. I remember having to do a bunch of research before I learned that I needed to put "pythonw AIG.py" in the batch file as opposed to "python AIG.py". However, my old windows 10 desktop crashed and I have a new Windows 11 machine. I installed the latest stable version of Python, which is 3.10. Now, when I try to execute the same batch file, it doesn't launch the app. It could be because I'm using Windows 11 or could be because I now have a newer version of Python. Does anyone have any ideas what I should do to get the Python script running on my new machine? Thank you! Brent -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
