If you put your batch file in the desktop like this path: string BatchFilePath= @"C:\users\username\desktop\test.bat";, then you can put this path directly to System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(BatchFilePath); method,

If you put batch file in the Raw folder directly and make sure build action is MauiAsset.

You path is string command = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location) + @"\test.bat"; like following code and using System.Reflection;

string command = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location) + @"\test.bat"; System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(command);
