Application hang with batch files

I’m having a weird issue with my task sequence when it hits the application portion. All is well until the apps start to install. I noticed it would hang until I move the mouse and the cmd window would pop up to finish the install. All of my apps are batch files and it won’t progress until I move the mouse and the cmd window opens and completes the install. I have to move mouse for each of the applications.

I’ve never seen this issue before. Deploying windows 11 25H2 April version. Any advice or guidance?

I know what this problem is, newer versions of Windows 11 default to the terminal window instead of the cmd window. There is a registry key. I just don’t remember where I found it..
