vm startup script using metadata

BBB

I created a VM using the windows server 2019 datacenter. After I created it, I added a metadata item with key and value like this to test it:

key1: windows-startup-script-cmd

value1:

dir

pause

The problem is that I don't see the cmd window run with the "dir" command using Windows RDP to log in. Is there anything wrong with my setting?

What I want to do is to run commands to open a URL and a program every time it starts up without me logging in.

The setting I followed: Using startup scripts on Windows VMs
