Issues with processing .bat files in Windows 11

I have experienced an issue which, on the face of it, appears to be a bug in Windows 11. The issue relates to the processing of a simple .bat file. A simple example is as follows:

D:

MD COPYTEST

CD COPYTEST

COPY S:\COOKIES\*.*

Running this .bat file from a CMD prompt works exactly as expected, but running it directly from "Run as Administrator" fails to copy the files although the folder IS created. Runnnng the same file in Windows 10 works perfectly. Is this a known bug in Windows 11?

I should point out that in this example the S drive is a pre-assigned mapped drive.

1 Does the Admin account have read access to S:\Cookies?
2 Add a Pause line afterwards so you can have a look for any error response.

All the best,
Denis

You're absolutely right!! Using the appropriate "net use" to assign the mapped drive the copy works fine. Thanks for the help.
