    New PATH editor interface not working for user Path.


    If I'm not mistaken, Windows 10 has introduced the new GUI interface for editing PATH environment variable in 1511. The 'Edit envionment vaiable' dialog


    My current build is 1909-18363.836.


    The problem is, the new path editor shows corectly for System's Path vaiable. But NOT for User's Path. The dialog is for the oldschool colon-separated string of... strings. In fact, even the dialog title reads "Edit User Variable" instead of "Edit environment vaiable" as it should. As if Windows does not recognize my Path variable as a legitimate one.


    Another computer of mine has 1909-18363.900 installed and the new path editor is showing for both System's and User's.


    I noticed this just today. Any possible idea on what could be causing this, or more importantly, how to fix it so that I can use the proper path editor for my user env variables as well?


    PS: No recommendation of 3rd party tool, please. I want to fix the issue, not pretend it's not there.

    :)

    Add a path to $PATH?

    Yeah, I think you're right. I think the purpose of the echo command was to check if ~/bin was in the $PATH file. My problem is that I can't decipher the output and I don't know how to add ~/bin to the $PATH file.

    Just for clarification, the snippet of instructions I gave is just a few steps in the installation process. Nothing is actually supposed to be installed with those steps.

    Thanks for the reply.
