For activating an environment:

activate myenv

for deactivating (all)

deactivate

At CMD prompt,it worked by running

myvenv\scripts\activate.bat

Go to the the directory where you have the ".bat" file by executing this command:

C:\Users\MyName\Desktop\ProjectsWork\FlaskApplication> cd env\Scripts

Then just call the ".bat" file

\Desktop\ProjectsWork\FlaskApplication\env\Scripts> activate.bat

(env) C:\Users\MyName\Desktop\ProjectsWork\FlaskApplication\env\Scripts>

If you want to activate your virtual environment after running:

virtualenv env 

Just run:

env\Scripts\activate

This command will provide you the correct path and the command "source" is not necessary.

In windows you don't need any command to directly activate an environment (like a virtual machine) but simply add "activate" or "deactivate" to the end of the path to the environment.

source myvenv/bin/activate
