Windows 10: Cannot find Edit Environment Variables Window in Windows 10 Home

Hi!


I am new to this forum and looking for some help please!


I am trying to install AVISYNTH on my bootcamped Windows 10 Home


I am looking for the window shown below. I need to use the new button to add a new variable. This is from a youtube tutorial https://youtu.be/Xw4Q5FIiEe0?t=143





instead when I follow the instructions in the video I just get this window...





I am in the admin account when trying this. I have seen other questions about greyed out edit buttons and other things that seem related on this forum but nothing that seems to be my exact problem.


Please any help would be deeply appreciated!


Thank you!

:)

 

Edit - Set Environment Variables

Recently I upgraded my Machine from Win 8 to Win 10, but I encountered many problems like virtual boxes related issues that does not create any problems prior to upgrading to Win 10.My mean concern as of now is I cant edit the system variable even I logged
as the admin of my machine.I would like to add Java Jdk but windows does not allow me to add the path to environment variables.

Is this a bug? Or what are the steps in order to edit environment variables in Windows 10 machine

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?

 

Can't edit environment variables in windows 10

It doesn't work for me either, even though I'm an admin on the system.

I got around it by opening the System page in Control Panel (Win+X -> Y), going to "Advanced system settings", then clicking "Environment Variables". That properly launches the edit window and it works.

By the way, when was the graphical list view of the Path variable introduced? I remember having to manually edit the string, but now a window shows up that lists each path entry in rows. Was that added in Win10?
