AFAIK,
You can't directly set the compatibility mode for a file from code in a .bat file because compatibility mode is a system setting stored in the Windows registry. However, you can do so by modifying the appropriate registry keys using the reg add command.

The following .bat script sets compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) for the file example.exe.
Bash:
@echo off
rem Path to the executable file
set FilePath=C:\path\to\example.exe

rem Add compatibility mode setting to the registry
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /v "%FilePath%" /t REG_SZ /d "WINXPSP3" /f

echo Compatibility mode set for %FilePath%.
pause

Compatibility mode settings are stored in the following registry key:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
  • Compatibility Mode Values:
    • WINXPSP3 - Windows XP Service Pack 3
    • WIN7 - Windows 7
    • VISTASP2 - Windows Vista Service Pack 2
    • WIN10 - Windows 10 (rarely needed but possible)
  • Using reg add:
    • reg add is used to create or update registry entries.
    • /v specifies the name of the registry entry (in this case, the file path).
    • /t REG_SZ sets the entry type to a string value.
    • /d specifies the data to assign (e.g., the compatibility mode).
    • /f forces overwriting any existing value.
To remove the compatibility mode for the file, use the following script:
Bash:
@echo off
rem Path to the executable file
set FilePath=C:\path\to\example.exe

rem Remove compatibility mode setting from the registry
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /v "%FilePath%" /f

echo Compatibility mode removed for %FilePath%.
pause

Warning:

  • Modifying the registry can affect system stability. Be careful and ensure the paths and values are accurate.
  • Running the .bat file may require administrator privileges. Right-click the .bat file and select Run as administrator if necessary.
