How to Launch Multiple Apps At Once on Windows 11/10
To launch multiple apps at once, we first need to create a batch file. The batch file will contain the path of the apps that you want to open. Follow some of the simple steps shared below.
1. First of all, search for the application that you want to include in the batch file. Right-click on the app and select Open File Location.
2. This will open the folder where the program has been installed. Right-click on the shortcut and select Properties.
3. On the properties, copy the Target field. Press CTRL+C to copy the value of this field.
4. Now open a notepad file on your system and paste the code given below.
@echo off cd "PATH" start FILE exit
Important: You need to replace PATH with the path to your app. Next, you need to replace FILE with the executable file name.
5. The complete command would look like this
@echo off cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skillbrains\lightshot\Lightshot.exe" start Lightshot.exe exit
6. You can add more programs to the batch file. For that, you need to use the same code for all your other apps. For example, I want to launch Lightshot and Avidemux at once. So, the code would look like
@echo off cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skillbrains\lightshot\Lightshot.exe" start Lightshot.exe cd "C:\Program Files\Avidemux 2.7 VC++ 64bits\avidemux.exe" start avidemux.exe exit
7. Now click on the File menu on your Notepad and select the Save As button.
8. Now you need to give the batch file a name. You can name the batch file anything; make sure to add the ‘.bat’ at the end of the file. For example, Applaunch.bat
That’s it! You are done. Now, whenever you wish to launch your favorite apps, double click on the .bat file.
