Virtualenv activating and deactivating on windows

I have been able to create a virtual environment on a Windows machine by following the docs. I am very familiar with virtualenv but on macos.

However when I try to activate the environment:

Scripts/activate.bat as described in the docs

I see no action that shows it has been activated. I do see time pass before the bash resets ready for another command so thats something.

But when I type deactivate to deactivate the virtual environment I get

bash: deactivate: command not found

So either it is being activated and I am not correctly deactivating (even though the docs says just to type deactivate much like mac).

Or nothing is being activated.

Anyone familiar?

The .bat files are for the Windows command shell, cmd.exe. If you're using bash on Windows, you should use the corresponding (ba)sh scripts, for example source tutorial-env/bin/activate.
