The name of my laptop is currently named "ASUS-VIVIOBOOK-S14", but when I use %ComputerName% as path it would become "ASUS-VIVIOBOOK-".

I am currently using Windows 11 (Version: 23H2) x86_64

I manage a number of systems that generate different logs from various software. Initially I used to email the log files to myself and manually check the...
