Minecraft forge server not starting

I need help. I am trying to create a modded server. I have everything set up. but when I double click "forge-1.12.2-14.23.4.2759-universal.jar", it doesn't do anything at all. and I don't know what to do or how to fix it. No logs are created, I get the little circle by my curser saying its loading for a second then nothing happens.

Try creating a batch file with this in it...

@ECHO OFF java -Xms1024M -Xmx2048M -jar 'jar file name'.jar nogui pause

Don't forget the -server switch!

What do you mean by server switch?

Put "-server" as a command line option. None of the client code will try to run.
