    Edit Environment Variables of Standard User Account

    In Windows 10, how can I set user-level (not system wide) environment variables for a standard user account? To clarify: I'm not talking about editing system environment variables. Also, just running the System app in Control Panel as admin won't work because
    that would set the environment variables for that admin user.

    When I go to Control Panel -> User Accounts, then click the "Change my environment variables" link in the left-hand action pane, nothing happens.

    If I go to the search box on the task bar and type "environment", then click "Edit environment variables for your account", nothing happens.

    Currently I have JAVA_HOME set to an incorrect value in my user account, which is a standard user not an admin. If I edit environment variables as admin, it does not show up in the system environment variables nor in the user environment variables (since
    the Administrator account is a different user).

    Edit Environment Variables of Standard User Account

    Hi ustulo,

    This is a bug in Windows 10. This command-line is supposed to be run when you click
    Change my environment variables.

    rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables

    But it has no effect whether you run it as Standard user or Administrator.

    Look at the other options (Command Prompt / PowerShell) mentioned in these links:

    Setx :
