    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?

    Yes, there's an OK button for each step.

    Bree,

    My Environment Variables window does not have the OK button like yours:

    Sorry for the low pic quality. I had to take a pic with my cell phone and send it via email to my PC, since I had to drag and HOLD the Environment Variables window up with the mouse cursor to show the bottom edge. Because when I let go of the mouse button, the window would snap back down to the bottom and not show the bottom edge.

    As shown, there is no OK button on my Environment Variables window (and no scroll bar). I'll investigate why. Thanks so much for taking the time to post the snip from your screen. It is very, very helpful!
