Why does a batch file work on manual execution but fails on running it as WinSW service? - batch-file

Question

I use WinSW for a Uvicorn service which basically provides an interface from which users can call certain SQL queries.
I have written a batch file which starts the program which works without a problem on manual execution with double clicking it. But if I run it as a service with WinSW and then start a query, there is output the error message:
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _sqlite3: The specified module could not be found.
How can it be that the same .bat file works in standalone, but not as a service? And how do I fix it?
My service XML file with {Path_to_bat_directory} being a placeholder here in this post and being in real the hard coded directory path to the batch file containing the account name:
<configuration>
<id>X</id>
<name>X</name>
<description> XXX </description>
<executable>C:\Users\{Path_to_bat_directory}\StartUvicorn.bat</executable>
<onfailure delay="10 sec" action="restart"/>
<onfailure delay="20 sec" action="restart"/>
<onfailure action="none"/>
<resetfailure>1 hour</resetfailure>
<workingdirectory>C:\Users\{Path_to_bat_directory}</workingdirectory>
<priority>Normal</priority>
<stoptimeout>15 sec</stoptimeout>
<stopparentprocessfirst>true</stopparentprocessfirst>
<startmode>Automatic</startmode>
<waithint>15 sec</waithint>
<sleeptime>1 sec</sleeptime>
<logpath>C:\Users\{Path_to_bat_directory}\logs</logpath>
<log mode="roll"> </log>
</configuration>
The batch file StartUvicorn.bat:
call %~dp0win_env/Scripts/activate.bat
uvicorn main:app --port 8590 --host 0.0.0.0
The full error output as written into a log file is:
