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"

 

exe files will not run unless .exe extension is included in command

KCR,

It seems that your %PathExt% environment variable is missing its .exe entry.

This is mine. I believe that it is in its original default state.
Code:

Set New User and System Environment Variables - TenForumsTutorials

Path, PathExt - SS64

PathExt is also referred to in Command shell overview - MSDocs and discussed in Order in which command prompt executes files with the same name (a.bat vs a.cmd vs a.exe) - Stack Overflow
