Batch files ( .bat ) are simple text-based scripts that automate a sequence of commands in the Windows Command Prompt. UWP_Helper.bat is one such script that automates the complex manual process of deploying an unpacked UWP application. This involves several steps typically performed by a developer, which the script can streamline for the end-user. The script is often found within the files of repacked or "scene" releases of UWP games, such as No Man's Sky and Age of Empires IV , and is intended to be placed directly in the game's root directory to function correctly.
