Standard value of PATH variable Windows 10

9

1

After having poorly handled the PATH system variable (resulting in deletion), I'm now looking to reinstate the variable with the original value. I found answers like this one about Windows 8 and below, but not for Windows 10.

I guess values are virtually identical, but I'd like to know the exact string so I'm not missing anything.

EDIT: Also, Regedit tree have changed and I'm not able to locate the variable

The default PATH variable is identical to what it was for Windows 8.1, Windows 8.0, and Windows 7. – Ramhound – 2015-09-15T11:18:45.017

AT Ramhound are you sure that is true? The answer here for win10 lists powershell(which I presume is correct and you don't differ with it either), You claim windows 7 is the same, yet This link for win7 doesn't list powershell http://www.binbert.com/blog/2010/09/default-environment-variable-values-of-windows-7-xp/ and neither does this link here http://superuser.com/questions/124239/what-is-the-default-path-environment-variable-setting-on-fresh-install-of-window (cont)

Can you state the source or sources for your claim? You may be right as http://superuser.com/questions/193368/what-are-default-system-path-settings-on-windows-7-64bit lists powershell However, I see windowsLive on a windows 7 system. and syberdoor's answer doesn't list it

This is copied from a Win 10 Enterprise 64Bit System I set up yesterday (no programs installed yet):

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\

seems to be identical with the Windows 8 one you found.
