    System environment variable won't stick


    Running Win10 Home on an Acer Spin 3, 64bit, i7cpu. I try to add a path to the system environment variables by:

    1. Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Advanced tab > Environment variables

    2. The "Environment Variables" window opens.
    3. In the "System Variables" pane I select "Path" and click the EDIT button.
    4. A list of the current system paths is displayed.
    5. I click the NEW button, browse to the path I want to add which is "C:\Python36-32" and click OK. The path "C:\Python36-32" is added to the list of current system paths.
    6. I click OK and am returned to the "Environment Variables" window.
    7. I click the "X" at the top right to close the "Environment Variables" window.

    Now if I click the "Environment Variables" button again (end of step-1) and repeat steps 2-4, the new path I added in step-5 is gone. IOW, adding a new path won't stick.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Enviromnent Variables - adding to system path

    I am trying to add in the environment Variable to path the following path address C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin

    I have also added this address to user variables ( the top box)

    I am have also added this location to the system path so the MinGW compiler (C programming) can work in any directory

    I found the path in the system variable environment added the above address (bottom box) at the end but I am still am unable to perform in any directory gcc simpleAge.c unless I use the full directory this file is in.

    System variables what does path do

    path variables

    I am an idiot and deleted all of my path variables. I could make my way around through other videos and stuff, and i have tried, but they all tell me to go through advanced system properties. But guess what, the path variable is missing. I don't have a
    CD drive and I'm running windows 10. Can anyone help?
