环境变量保存在HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment中。

许多有用的环境变量，如Path，都存储为REG_SZ。有几种方法可以访问注册表，包括REGEDIT:

REGEDIT /E <“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ ControlSet001 \会话管理器\ \控制环境”

输出从神奇的数字开始。因此，要用find命令搜索它，它需要输入并重定向:type <filename> | findstr -c:\"Path\"

所以，如果你只是想用系统属性刷新当前命令会话中的路径变量，下面的批处理脚本可以很好地工作:

RefreshPath.cmd:

    @echo off

    REM This solution requests elevation in order to read from the registry.

    if exist %temp%\env.reg del %temp%\env.reg /q /f

    REGEDIT /E %temp%\env.reg "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment"

    if not exist %temp%\env.reg (
       echo "Unable to write registry to temp location"
       exit 1
       )

    SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion

    for /f "tokens=1,2* delims==" %%i in ('type %temp%\env.reg ^| findstr -c:\"Path\"=') do (
       set upath=%%~j
       echo !upath:\\=\! >%temp%\newpath
       )

     ENDLOCAL

     for /f "tokens=*" %%i in (%temp%\newpath) do set path=%%i

我喜欢巧克力之后的方法，就像匿名懦夫的回答，因为这是一个纯粹的批量处理方法。但是，它会留下一个临时文件和一些临时变量。我给自己做了一个更干净的版本。

在路径的某个地方创建一个文件refreshv .bat。通过执行refreshEnv来刷新控制台环境。

谢谢你提出这个非常有趣的问题，即使在2019年(事实上，更新shell cmd并不容易，因为如上所述，它是一个单一的实例)，因为在windows中更新环境变量允许完成许多自动化任务，而无需手动重新启动命令行。

例如，我们使用它来允许在我们定期重新安装的大量机器上部署和配置软件。我必须承认，在软件部署期间重新启动命令行是非常不切实际的，而且需要我们找到不一定令人愉快的变通办法。 让我们来解决问题。 我们按以下步骤进行。

1 -我们有一个批处理脚本，它依次调用powershell脚本

(文件:task.cmd)。

cmd > powershell.exe -executionpolicy unlimited -File C:\path_here\refresh.ps1 .exe

2 -在此之后，刷新。ps1脚本使用注册表键(GetValueNames()等)更新环境变量。 然后，在同一个powershell脚本中，我们只需要调用新的环境变量即可。 例如，在一个典型的情况下，如果我们之前刚刚用静默命令用cmd安装了nodeJS，在函数被调用后，我们可以直接调用npm来安装，在同一个会话中，如下所示的特定包。

(文件:refresh.ps1)

function Update-Environment {
    $locations = 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session  Manager\Environment',
                 'HKCU:\Environment'
    $locations | ForEach-Object {
        $k = Get-Item $_
        $k.GetValueNames() | ForEach-Object {
            $name  = $_
            $value = $k.GetValue($_)

            if ($userLocation -and $name -ieq 'PATH') {
                $env:Path += ";$value"
            } else {

                Set-Item -Path Env:\$name -Value $value
            }
        }
        $userLocation = $true
    }
}
Update-Environment
#Here we can use newly added environment variables like for example npm install.. 
npm install -g create-react-app serve

powershell脚本结束后，cmd脚本继续执行其他任务。 现在，要记住的一件事是，在任务完成后，cmd仍然不能访问新的环境变量，即使powershell脚本在它自己的会话中更新了这些变量。这就是为什么我们在powershell脚本中完成所有需要的任务，它当然可以调用与cmd相同的命令。

我使用这个Powershell脚本添加到PATH变量中。 只要稍加调整，我相信它也适用于你的情况。

令人困惑的事情可能是，有几个地方可以启动cmd。 在我的情况下，我从windows资源管理器运行cmd，环境变量没有改变，而当从“运行”(windows键+ r)开始cmd时，环境变量被改变了。

在我的情况下，我只需要从任务管理器中杀死windows资源管理器进程，然后从任务管理器中重新启动它。

一旦我这样做了，我就可以从windows资源管理器衍生的cmd中访问新的环境变量。
