Windows 10: BSOD with variable messages

Built the system when the 4070TI came out. worked great until a couple months ago. Got my first BSOD. Then nothing for a couple days, then another BSOD, and they happened faster and faster, until it now may take 15 minutes or a couple hours from a startup. I've been getting the following errors:-Kernel mode heap corruption-irql not less or equal-service system exception-exception on invalid stackTo attempt to fix i have tried:-Installed new Ram, no change.-Reinstalled windows. During the install I got a BSOD.-Reinstalled again. Wend fine and got drivers updated. Lasted 30 minutes till BSO

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?

 

Searching environment variable in list

I'm using a command that gives me a list of environment variables. When searching in the list, I want to find all environment variables with the word
EXTERNAL; using the following command all that is occurring is all the environment variables are being listed instead of those environment variables with the word
EXTERNAL ?

findstr /c "EXTERNAL"

 

no longer able to set User's environment variables in control panel

Hello,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

From the description provided, I understand that you are not able to work on the Environment Variables in Windows 10 after the latest update to build 10586.3.

The path to access the Environment variables in Windows would be:

Control panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced -> Environment variables.

However, if the above is still in place, but however, you still face functionality issue, I would suggest you to rollback to the previous build and check if it helps.

Follow the below steps:

• Click on Start and select Settings and then choose Update & security.
• Then click on ‘Recovery Options’.
• Click on the ‘Get started’ button in the ‘Go back to a previous build of Windows’ option to start the recovery process.

Hope the above information is helpful. If you need further information, feel free to write t us and we would be happy to help you.

Thank you.
