Windows pc decided to suddenly cleanse some environment variables. How can I add it again?

I tried reinstalling juliaup, nothing happened.

Kind regards

This broke, it has worked previously. I would like to fix it through juliaup, but reinstalling did not fix it

Kind regards

You will want to set the `PATH` environment variable. Let me think about how find the correct path settings.

Maybe @davidanthoff has a better idea?

</div>

the `juliaup` which is in the PATH is in

```julia
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps

```

and is some kind of link to the real juliaup exe.

Check if

```julia
echo %PATH%

```

still contains above path and juliaup exist there.

What @oheil wrote 🙂 That directory needs to be on your `PATH` for any Windows Store app to work properly.

Perfect, thanks guys 😊

First time I’ve experienced Windows do this, perhaps after an update as usual.

Kind regards
