  There is no "auutoexec" in win 10.  What kind of variable are you add?

  You can add a variable in control panel>system control panel>advanced system settings>variables.

  Hi SpecialOps10,

  autoexec.bat was only used for DOS based windows like 95, 98 and ME. Stopped being used with 2000.

  In addition to ZigZag3143x's suggestion to setup  configure the environment variables from the control panel. We could also use set command to display its environment block or to create new environment variables.

  Here is a similar case for reference.

  define variables as path to autoexec.bat for windows 10
