I keep getting the error "process exited with code 1" when trying to run a cmd script

Question

I downloaded a CMD script for a game, but everytime i run it (with administrator), the Command prompt flashes for half a second and instantly closes. I managed to capture what it says before closing, and it simply says this at the end and closes

[process exited with code 1 (0x00000001)]

You can now close this terminal with Ctrl+D, or press Enter to restart.

I tried a common fix for this found online that involves the powershell command:

C:\Windows\System32\reg.exe DELETE "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" /v AutoRun /fAnd the CMD command (with administrator): sfc /scannow

Neither of those helped at all. the problem still persisted.

One thing to note, my "Command Prompt" key is completely missing from my Registry editor. it should normally be in Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor

But its not there at all. I'm running on Windows 11 pro 24H2, OS build 26100.3476
I assume I'm up to date.

Please let me know if you can help

PS. I also tried running the same command from a new profile on my device, also didn't work.
