hey im not sure if you are still having this issue but this is my work around my .lnk file is called "documents.lnk"
my .bat file looks like this:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe "Documents.lnk"
my remote.lua line looks like this:
actions.designer = function () os.open("C:\Users\jimlo\Desktop\code\delayed startup\runner.vbs"); end
but i also have a .vbs script that sits in between that allows the .bat file to run in the background and it looks like this:
Dim shell Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Shell.CurrentDirectory = "C:\Users\jimlo\Desktop\code\delayed startup" shell.Run "gem.bat", 0
I think that using "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" over "open" in .bat was the fix
hope that helped a bit.
Thanks for sharing! I guess the explorer.exe will do the trick for me. Very helpful, thanks!

no problem, i know how frustrating it is to try to find a fix for niche issues like this i hope it works for you.
Any chance you can help me out with the same problem? I have a .bat running a .ps1:
The batch file:
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File
The PS script:
@aabeba I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand your problem. Maybe send a pic of the error message? my first guess would be (if it is the same error):
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe "script path"
I would also note in the .lua file your path needs to have double slashes I.E:
"C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop\\code\\delayed startup\\runner.vbs"
I am trying to make a custom remote with buttons starting different Windows 10 apps.
Building upon the example files, I already defined appropriate functions using os.start() and a layout with buttons to trigger them on tap.
To keep things flexible, I do not want to hardcode the path to each app's executable in the .lua. Instead, I use os.start() to launch generic Windows .lnk files inside a subfolder of the remote which "point" to the executables:
Unfortunately, the remote shows up on my client, but the buttons won't work. Tried to run a .bat file instead, to no avail either.
Is os.start() limited to .exe files only?
Or am I maybe doing something wrong with the string escapes? (I added surrounding escaped doublequotes to the string because I know that command prompt requires them if the path contains spaces.)
