How can I make a version of this script start up after reboots?

Question

I have this one batch file that runs:

for /R C:\some\Directory\target\ %%f in (*.bat) do (call "%%f")

It eventually loops over a bat file and has to reboot is there a way for it keeps looping after the reboot? I was reading on SuperUser something like resume however I do not see it implemented so quickly here. Is there any way to implement it? The script is meant to be called and install software on a device, but it stops after the reboot. Is there a way to keep the batch file executing the other software?

@echo off

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "_batch_dir=C:\some\Directory\target"
set "_KeyRunOnce=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce"

if not "%~1" == "" (set "_skp=skip=%~1" && set "_count=%~1")else set "_count=1"

for /f %%i in ('dir /b /s /aa "%_batch_dir%\*.bat" ^| find /v /c ""')do set /a "_total=%%~i"

for /f "%_skp% delims=" %%i in ('2^>nul where.exe /r "%_batch_dir%" "*.bat"')do if !_count! lss !_total! =;(
     reg add "%_KeyRunOnce%" /v "%~n0" /d "\"%~f0\" \"!_count!\"" /f && set /a "_count+=1" );= 1>nul 2>&1 & call "%%~i"

1>nul 2>&1 reg delete "%_KeyRunOnce%" /v "%~n0" /f & endlocal

1. Start by counting the total of your bat files to run

2. Obtained the total, check if the current execution is the initial, interval or last

3. Add a counter and through that, execute the value of the counter and use that indicator for the relevant continuity execution.

4. Define which bat to start, continue and end with the argument and RunOnce key suggested by @tabby.sl

5. Replace For /R to For /F and use counter as argument in RunOnce, and use argument as skip in your For /F skip=Argument
