    Setting path variable in Environment variables Windows 10


    How can I stack up multiple path variables? Currently, it overwrites the old one when I try to edit.

    (I believe mindless updates are bad and updates should only happen when it is reasonably certain they will improve usability, and not just so that some people have a job.)

    :)

    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?

    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.

    Accidentally deleted the path of environment variables

    I accidentally deleted the path of system environment variables, instead of editing it and adding a new one, in my Windows 10 Dell Laptop. I lost all the default variables that were there. How do I restore the previous variables? Please help
