I remember having to do a bunch of research before I learned that I needed to put "pythonw AIG.py" in the batch file as opposed to "python AIG.py".

Now, when I try to execute the same batch file, it doesn't launch the app.  It could be because I'm using Windows 11 or could be because I now have a newer version of Python.

The problem is probably that the Python folder isn't in Windows' search 
path, but the recommended thing to do nowadays on Windows is to use the 
Python Launcher "py.exe" (or "pyw.exe" for no console window) instead:

pyw AIG.py
