I can launch my server through its file, but cannot launch it through the command prompt or a .bat file, therefore being unable to configure it (which I want to do). When I launch the .bat file I made for it (which, through the tutorial's instruction, should work) it opens, stops due to the "pause" written at the end, shows nothing, says "press any key to continue", then closes after a key is pressed.
That format did not work either. And, by the way, the link you used was from the guide I used. Since the initial format did not work, I resorted to the FAQ, and used a suggested alternative.
I'm going to remove the suggested alternative since all it does is further complicate making a batch file for Minecraft, it does nothing to help troubleshooting, it opens up another cmd prompt window (the START command), and the example file in the "Creating a .bat file to store the commands" section is all we really need.
Since your question is marked resolved, I assume you fixed your problem.

Post the contents of your .bat file.
ok:
START Server.jar C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_211\bin\java.exe -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -jar Server.jar -o true nogui
pause
Additionally: install 64-bit Java.
