在不重启当前会话的情况下，向路径中添加变量的最简单方法是打开命令提示符并输入:

PATH=(VARIABLE);%path%

并按enter键。

要检查变量是否已加载，请键入

PATH

并按enter键。但是，在重新启动之前，该变量将只是路径的一部分。

就像凯文说的，没有捷径可走。在大多数情况下，生成另一个CMD框更简单。更令人恼火的是，正在运行的程序也不知道这些变化(尽管IIRC可能有一个广播消息来查看此类变化的通知)。

更糟糕的是:在旧版本的Windows中，你必须先注销，然后再重新登录，才能考虑到这些变化……

调用这个函数对我来说很有用:

VOID Win32ForceSettingsChange()
{
    DWORD dwReturnValue;
    ::SendMessageTimeout(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SETTINGCHANGE, 0, (LPARAM) "Environment", SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG, 5000, &dwReturnValue);
}

为了解决这个问题，我使用setx和set改变了环境变量，然后重新启动explorer.exe的所有实例。这样，随后启动的任何进程都将拥有新的环境变量。

我的批处理脚本这样做:

setx /M ENVVAR "NEWVALUE"
set ENVVAR="NEWVALUE"

taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
start explorer.exe >nul
exit

这种方法的问题是当前打开的所有资源管理器窗口都将被关闭，这可能是一个坏主意-但请参阅Kev的帖子来了解为什么这是必要的

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。

REM Because the environment variables may refer to other variables, we need a 2-step approach.

我只是想说，那些使用Anaconda的人，当你使用chocoley Refreshenv命令时;所有与conda相关的环境变量都将丢失。 要解决这个问题，最好的方法是重新启动CMD。：(
