This is the shell.bat file (I had to make some changes since the Call function? thing has changed over time and now needs a title I think?):
This is what comes up in the command prompt:
W:\handmade\misc>shell
****** B A T C H R E C U R S I O N exceeds STACK limits ******
Recursion Count=593, Stack Usage=90 percent
****** B A T C H PROCESSING IS A B O R T E D ******
W:\handmade\misc>
I am not very experienced with programming so I would really appreciate some help.
I've spent some time trying to fix this but apart from the cmd prompt not being able to do anything with it, this error was the only thing I got to.
1 2 3 | @echo off call "shell.bat" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64 set path=w:\handmade\misc;%path% |

You are calling shell.bat file from shell.bat file. This is infinite recursion.
Instead just call vcvarsall.bat file:
Instead just call vcvarsall.bat file:
1 | call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64 |
