command prompt appears then disappears

when i try to open a .bat file command prompt quickly opens and closes

Try to right click/edit. That will open it in a text file so you can see what is going on.

what do i do after i right click and edit?

it really depends on what this bat file is designed to do i think -- what is it scripted to do ...

 

[Hipster Doofus]

It should open to text file. If so copy/paste the results here. Someone should be able to sort it out for you.

As mentioned though, what is it trying to do?

regsvrex64 scfh64.ax

Sounds like you may need an elevated cmd, try this:

What you're seeing is the batch file starting, executing (running), and completing. Upon completion, the 'command prompt' disappears, as the batch file is finished.

If you'd like the batch file to not disappear upon completion, I'd recommend adding "pause" to the end of it.

This is quite normal depending on what the BAT file does. Simple operations only last a few seconds, which explains the command prompt window disappearing so quickly.
