Enable patches in the files in the src folder (or use the overrides in kobopatch.yaml to keep your options separate).

HOW?

7. Install the patches by copying KoboRoot.tgz into the .kobo folder of your device
If the patching succeeded, a file named KoboRoot.tgz will be created in the out folder. Copy it to the .kobo folder of your device. Safely remove your device once you are finished.

Is this created by the .bat file, because its not in the folder after extracting Kobopatch_4.32.1901.zip...
Yes, KoboRoot.tgz is created after running the .bat file.

As to enabling, open the .yaml files in the .src folder with (for example) Notepad and change no to yes when you want to enable a patch. Then save and run the .bat file. Take care not to add or delete any spaces in those files.
