@echo off
REM Check if at least one argument is provided
if "%~1"=="" (
    echo No arguments provided.
    echo Usage: shift_and_call.bat [arg1] [arg2] ... [argN]
    exit /b 1
)

REM Function to display remaining arguments
:display_args
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
echo Remaining Arguments:
set count=0
for %%A in (%*) do (
    set /a count+=1
    echo !count!: %%A
)
endlocal
echo.
goto :eof

REM Function to build remaining arguments into a variable
:build_remaining_args
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "remaining_args="
set arg_count=0
:build_loop
if "%~1"=="" goto :end_build_loop
set /a arg_count+=1
set "remaining_args=!remaining_args! %~1"
shift
goto :build_loop
:end_build_loop
endlocal & set "remaining_args=%remaining_args:~1%"
goto :eof

REM Display all initial arguments
echo Initial Arguments:
call :display_args %*

REM Shift the first argument
shift

REM Build remaining arguments after first shift
call :build_remaining_args %*
echo Remaining Arguments After First Shift:
call :display_args %remaining_args%

REM Optionally, you can continue shifting if needed
REM For demonstration, let's shift again
shift

REM Build remaining arguments after second shift
call :build_remaining_args %*
echo Remaining Arguments After Second Shift:
call :display_args %remaining_args%

REM Now, let's call a command with the remaining arguments
REM For example, we'll use 'echo' as the command
echo Calling command with remaining arguments:
echo The remaining arguments are: %remaining_args%

REM You can replace 'echo' with any other command you want to run
REM For example, if you wanted to call another batch file or program:
REM my_program.exe %remaining_args%

exit /b 0

Seems it can not reach the mine variant of the code:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

REM This script shifts the first argument and calls a command with the remaining arguments

REM Display the original arguments
echo Original arguments: %*

REM Shift the first argument
shift

REM Display the shifted arguments
set "shifted_args="
:loop
if "%~1"=="" goto endloop
set "shifted_args=!shifted_args! %1"
shift
goto loop
:endloop

REM Trim leading space from shifted_args
set "shifted_args=%shifted_args:~1%"

echo Shifted arguments: %shifted_args%

REM Call a command with the remaining arguments
REM For demonstration, we'll use "echo" as the command, but you can replace it with any command you need
echo Calling command with remaining arguments...
call echo %shifted_args%

REM Uncomment the following line to call a different command with the remaining arguments
REM call your_command %shifted_args%

endlocal

Seems the result is a bit better with less iterations. But mostly the same.
