I know it seems this has been asked before, but I need a batch to open another batch in a new window. I've tried:

start abc.bat

cmd abc.bat

run abc.bat

and others. They've all opened in the same window or just opened Command Prompt in new window, ignoring my batch. Is there a batch command to open a batch file in a new window?
