I just upgraded my Windows 10 Pro system to 1903 (build 18362.356) and began experiencing a similar problem to #271, which was reported in 1809.
(The description of duplicate issue #345 is closer to what I'm seeing).

I have a batch file containing multiple commands executed as
START "" /MIN /I /D ...
Since the upgrade, they all now return

The system cannot find the file ...

Removing the /MIN does not resolve the problem.

#271 was fixed in KB4501371 for 1809; is there an update for 1903 with a similar fix?

Environment

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.356]

Sorry for the delay. Are you seeing the problem in 1809 with KB4501371? I'd like to figure out if we broke this between the code we serviced to 1809 and 1903.

This system never had 1809, corporate updates went directly from 1803 to 1903.
System has since updated from build 18362.356 to 18362,657, and is still expieriencing this problem.
Could/should I try installing KB4501371 anyway?

KB4501371 will not help, unfortunately. We'll take up the investigation on our side.

Sorry to be that guy, but @LRiba - is this still happening for you? I'm mot sure we ever made any code changes on our side to address this, but there also shouldn't be any cmd.exe changes at all, so it's a little troubling that this regressed in the first place.

It's been a few months, so it's entirely possible this has been fixed in the meantime. If this is still happening, we'll take another look.

Thanks!
