    Hi,

    The main purpose of environment variables is to cope with the changes in each new version of the Operating System. There are two types of environment variables in Windows.

    • System Variables
    • User Variables

    System variables are used for global variables meaning that changing the system variables will affect all the users of the computer. User variables only affect only the user who is currently logged in.

    The default path of Environmental Variable Path is as follows:

    %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0****

    You may try to add them and let us know the results.

    Hope this information helps. Reply with the status so that we could help you further.
