    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?

    How to edit the user path environment variable (not system path)

    I need to edit the user path environment variable (not the
    system path), but it doesn't seem possible in any way. I have edited the user path before on another computer running Windows 7 by right clicking My Computer --> Advanced System Settings --> Environment Variables --> and editing the user path in the
    top dialog box (not the system path in the bottom dialog box). I tried the same thing in Windows 10 but "path" doesn't show up in the user environment variables dialog box, only TEMP and TMP show up.

    I also tried searching for path after hitting the windows key and clicking "Edit environment variables for your account" but nothing happens when I click it. If I search for "path" when in Control Panel, I also get the option to click "Edit environment variables
    for your account" but again, nothing happens when I click it. I also tried running Regedit --> HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Environment, but the same options of TEMP and TMP show up, with no "path" option. I have tried searching the web for hours trying to solve
    this problem but I can't find a solution. Is there any other way to change edit the user path? Is Microsoft actively trying to address this problem? I am running on Windows 10 version 1511 OS build 10586.104. I am the only user on this machine and I am the
    administrator.
