This is why I wrote the Tron project (https://old.reddit.com/r/TronScript) in batch. It's a huge pain, but batch ALWAYS works and doesn't change, unlike PowerShell v1/2/3/etc. More work, but works on everything from XP to 10 v.whatever.

Batch is instant turndown even for thing that I want a lot like this one.

Powershell even limiting to 2.0 which never changes would be way better.

In batch! The thing that always asks you if you want to terminate the batch job :-) are you familiar with/did you consider WScript? You can write JScript which is a lot nicer and still works on older machines...
Hey, don't kinkshame.
