Your RUN.bat is a command, perhaps what you typed in it is the problem. Typing run.bat in Search open the dialog box for typing something just the same as pressing the WinKey + R opens it.

@FreeBooter Thank you for all your help, when I open the ProgressBar.Bat file it has a bar that goes to 100% and then does nothing. if I try to write in it, it immediately closes. Am I doing something wrong?

The batch script is use for displaying progress bar which works on your system that means Run.bat won't execute because it's empty.

Than how do I open the RUN.bat file? Do I have to wait until the batch script is done?

Batch scripts are stored in simple text files containing lines with commands that get executed in sequence, one after the other. These files have the special extension BAT or CMD. Files of this type are recognized and executed through an interface (sometimes called a shell) provided by a system file called the command interpreter. In Windows XP and later versions of Windows the command interpreter is the file cmd.exe. The large assortment of versatile commands available in Windows XP and later versions of Windows, makes batch files a powerful tool.

Because scripts contain standard text characters, you can create and edit scripts using a standard text editor, such as Notepad. When you enter commands, be sure to place each command or group of commands that should be executed together on a new line. This ensures proper execution of the commands. When you have finished creating a batch script, save the script file using the .bat or .cmd extension. Both extensions work with batch scripts in the same way.

Running a batch script file is a simple matter of just double-clicking on it. Batch files can also be run in a Command Prompt. In such case, the full path name must be used unless the file's path is in the path environment.

To become an effective Windows batch script programmer, you must become intimately familiar with the Windows Command Prompt. The Windows Command Prompt is a text-based interface to the Windows operating system as opposed to the Windows desktop, which is a GUI-based interface.

The Windows Command Prompt accepts user commands and translates them into a format that can be processed by the operating system. It then displays any output returned by the operating system back in the Windows Command Prompt console.

Open the Command Prompt by clicking Start Menu --> All Programs --> Accessories. In Windows Vista and later versions of Window operating systems type cmd.exe into Start Screen or Start Menu.

To execute a command at Command Prompt, type it in at the Command Prompt and press the Enter key. For example, to display the contents of the current working directory, type DIR and press Enter key.

@FreeBooter I'm trying to open a Minecraft .jar file, I typed "java -jar" and behind -jar I put the full file name. It said that it was unable to acces the .jar file.

Do you want to modify the Run.bat file or execute it?

Hi, I need some help. I want to open a RUN.bat file, but every time I try to open it my computer gives a message saying "This app can't run on your pc".
In Properties, you need to check the 'Unblock' box and then press 'OK'

I would suggest that you run this .bat file 'Run as Administrator'.

I ran the ProgressBar.bat file and appears it does what it's supposed, display the progress bar. A .bat [batch] file is a command that does whatever is in it which has to be a valid command. A definition of a batch/.bat file from a Quick Reference Guide for MS-DOS 6 by Karl Schwartz [a bit old but mostly still valid]:
Batch file
An ASCII file containing MS-DOS commands and programs to be run.
There's still a number of DOS commands in Windows that can be run in the Command Prompt and/or in PowerShell or the new Terminal in Win11.
