title: 7-Zip batch script no longer compressing files in Windows 10
body: <p>I have a .BAT file that was as follows:</p>
  <pre><code>@echo off
  &quot;C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zG.exe&quot; a -mx9 cvseagle.7z ^
  cvseagle.def ^
  cvseagle.snd ^
  cvseagle.sff ^
  cvseagle.air ^
  cvseagle.cns ^
  buffering.vns ^
  cvseagle.cds ^
  config.txt ^
  cvssystem.lol ^
  point.lol ^
  movelist* ^
  読んで下さい.txt ^
  &quot;READ OR DIE&quot;.txt
  pause
  </code></pre>
  <p>However, now it no longer works, most likely because I just updated Windows 10 (does not read the command correctly anymore) and I changed it to this... and it still doesn't want to work:</p>
  <pre><code>@echo off
  start /D    &quot;C:\Program Files\7-Zip\&quot; 7zG.exe -mx9 a  cvseagle.7z ^
  cvseagle.def ^
  cvseagle.snd ^
  cvseagle.sff ^
  cvseagle.air ^
  cvseagle.cns ^
  buffering.vns ^
  cvseagle.cds ^
  config.txt ^
  cvssystem.lol ^
  point.lol ^
  movelist* ^
  読んで下さい.txt ^
  &quot;READ OR DIE&quot;.txt
  pause
  </code></pre>
  <p>When I try to do it now, it says &quot;Access is denied. Cannot open file cvseagle.7z&quot;</p>
  <p>So what gives? Why does my script, which has worked FINE for SEVERAL Windows versions for YEARS, suddenly not want to work?</p>
  <p>This doesn't work either:</p>
  <pre><code>@echo off
  &quot;C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zG.exe&quot; -mx9 a  cvseagle.7z ^
  cvseagle.def ^
  cvseagle.snd ^
  cvseagle.sff ^
  cvseagle.air ^
  cvseagle.cns ^
  buffering.vns ^
  cvseagle.cds ^
  config.txt ^
  cvssystem.lol ^
  point.lol ^
  movelist* ^
  読んで下さい.txt ^
  &quot;READ OR DIE&quot;.txt
  pause
  </code></pre>
