To retreive the PATH variable use $Env.Path

Mein variabler Wert im Pfad lautet wie folgt
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\;C:\Program Files\Intel\WiFi\bin\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\WirelessCommon\;%PYTHON_HOME%\;%PYTHON_HOME%\Scripts;C:\SQLite
When I type echo %Path%
on command prompt, I get below output
PS C:\Users\Arun> echo %Path% %Path%

Since Windows 10 Insider Build 14971 Microsoft changed the default command shell to be PowerShell
instead of cmd
.
PowerShell handles environment variables differently to cmd
.
To display their values in PowerShell use the following syntax:
$Env:variablename
Example:
> echo %Path% %Path% > $Env:Path C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\apps\WSCC\Sysinternals Suite;C:\apps\WSCC\NirSoft Utilities >
