We appreciate hearing your thoughts, questions, and ideas about “Quick access to Surface’s battery report with a simple batch file”.
The second line in the example batch file contains a forward slash instead of a backslash.
Also, “%CD%” won’t work in a folder name with spaces but “.” will.
So here’s my version of the above script with errors corrected and no text output in command prompt:
@echo off
powercfg /batteryreport >nul
start .\battery-report.html >nul
