Win11/64: My Backup Batch File Just Stopped Working!

Hi! I have a special backup batch file designed to back up source code without rebuildable files and another that gets the current date for the first. Just recently, it stopped working. I get the following error:

'wmic' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

The following line seems to be causing the error:

for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in ('wmic OS Get localdatetime /value') do set dt=%%a

I can rest for now but soon want it to work again.

BTW, I have Win11/64 and let it update itself as needed.

 

I thought I read somewhere MS discontinued wmic. Yep
