Example:

@echo off
goto menu1
:menu1
cls
echo Menu 1
echo.
echo Press "1" to start control panel
echo.
echo Press "2" to go to second menu
echo.
choice /c 12
if errorlevel ==2 goto menu2
if errorlevel ==1 goto control panel
:menu2
cls
echo Menu 2
echo.
echo Press "1" start msconfig
echo.
echo Press "2" to go to first menu
echo.
choice /c 12
if errorlevel ==2 goto menu1
if errorlevel ==1 goto msconfig
:control panel
cls
start control
goto menu1
:msconfig
cls
start msconfig
goto menu1

So if Im in menu1 and I press 2 it will go to menu2.

If Im in menu2 and I press 2 it will go to menu1,

but if Im in menu2 and I press 1 to open msconfig, it instead opens control panel in menu1 while menu2 is still opened, why is this?

To do this you can (should) to use the if command and not error level. You will also need to get user input to a variable like this, set /p examplemenu1= Enter your choice^> That will insert what the user has chosen to examplemenu1, then you use the if command.

I will show you a better way to write a menu and fix your problem. In this menu if someone enters nothing, nothing will happen.

@echo off
:start
:menu1
cls
echo.
echo.
echo Enter 1 and Press Enter to open control panel
echo.
echo Enter 2 and Press Enter to go menu 2
echo.
set /p menu1= Enter your choice then Press Enter^>
if "%menu1%" EQU "1" goto :open-control
if "%menu1%" EQU "2" goto :menu2
goto :menu1
:menu2
Cls
REM I will do the basics
echo Menu 2
echo Type 1 to open msconfig
echo.
echo Type 2 to go back to menu 1
echo.
set /p menu2= Enter your choice and press enter^>
if "%menu2%" EQU "1" goto :open-msconfig
if "%menu2%" EQU "2" goto :menu1
goto :menu2
:open-control
cls
start control
REM People will ping a invalid host to wait
REM But they don't know that you can just use localhost
ping localhost -n 3 >nul
goto :start
:open-msconfig
Cls
start msconfig
ping localhost -n 3 >nul
goto :start

Test this out and reply if it works for you.
