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。

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。

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……

我想到的最好的方法是只做一个Registry查询。下面是我的例子。

In my example I did an install using a Batch file that added new environment variables. I needed to do things with this as soon as the install was complete, but was unable to spawn a new process with those new variables. I tested spawning another explorer window and called back to cmd.exe and this worked but on Vista and Windows 7, Explorer only runs as a single instance and normally as the person logged in. This would fail with automation since I need my admin creds to do things regardless of running from local system or as an administrator on the box. The limitation to this is that it does not handle things like path, this only worked on simple enviroment variables. This allowed me to use a batch to get over to a directory (with spaces) and copy in files run .exes and etc. This was written today from may resources on stackoverflow.com

原批处理调用新批处理:

testenvget。cmd SDROOT(或任何变量)

@ECHO OFF
setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS
set keyname=HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
set value=%1
SET ERRKEY=0

REG QUERY "%KEYNAME%" /v "%VALUE%" 2>NUL| FIND /I "%VALUE%"
IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 (
ECHO The Registry Key Exists 
) ELSE (
SET ERRKEY=1
Echo The Registry Key Does not Exist
)

Echo %ERRKEY%
IF %ERRKEY% EQU 1 GOTO :ERROR

FOR /F "tokens=1-7" %%A IN ('REG QUERY "%KEYNAME%" /v "%VALUE%" 2^>NUL^| FIND /I "%VALUE%"') DO (
ECHO %%A
ECHO %%B
ECHO %%C
ECHO %%D
ECHO %%E
ECHO %%F
ECHO %%G
SET ValueName=%%A
SET ValueType=%%B
SET C1=%%C
SET C2=%%D
SET C3=%%E
SET C4=%%F
SET C5=%%G
)

SET VALUE1=%C1% %C2% %C3% %C4% %C5%
echo The Value of %VALUE% is %C1% %C2% %C3% %C4% %C5%
cd /d "%VALUE1%"
pause
REM **RUN Extra Commands here**
GOTO :EOF

:ERROR
Echo The the Enviroment Variable does not exist.
pause
GOTO :EOF

还有另一种方法，我从各种不同的想法中想出的。请看下文。这基本上会得到最新的路径变量从注册表然而，这将导致一些问题，因为注册表查询将给出变量本身，这意味着到处都有一个变量，这将不会工作，所以为了解决这个问题，我基本上加倍的路径。非常讨厌的。更可取的方法是: 设置路径=%路径%;C:\Program Files\Software....\

不管这是新的批处理文件，请谨慎使用。

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
set org=%PATH%
for /f "tokens=2*" %%A in ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v Path ^|FIND /I "Path"') DO (
SET path=%%B
)
SET PATH=%org%;%PATH%
set path

可以通过在指定进程本身中覆盖环境表来实现这一点。

作为概念的证明，我写了这个示例应用程序，它只是在cmd.exe进程中编辑一个(已知的)环境变量:

typedef DWORD (__stdcall *NtQueryInformationProcessPtr)(HANDLE, DWORD, PVOID, ULONG, PULONG);

int __cdecl main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    HMODULE hNtDll = GetModuleHandleA("ntdll.dll");
    NtQueryInformationProcessPtr NtQueryInformationProcess = (NtQueryInformationProcessPtr)GetProcAddress(hNtDll, "NtQueryInformationProcess");

    int processId = atoi(argv[1]);
    printf("Target PID: %u\n", processId);

    // open the process with read+write access
    HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION | PROCESS_VM_READ | PROCESS_VM_WRITE | PROCESS_VM_OPERATION, 0, processId);
    if(hProcess == NULL)
    {
        printf("Error opening process (%u)\n", GetLastError());
        return 0;
    }

    // find the location of the PEB
    PROCESS_BASIC_INFORMATION pbi = {0};
    NTSTATUS status = NtQueryInformationProcess(hProcess, ProcessBasicInformation, &pbi, sizeof(pbi), NULL);
    if(status != 0)
    {
        printf("Error ProcessBasicInformation (0x%8X)\n", status);
    }
    printf("PEB: %p\n", pbi.PebBaseAddress);

    // find the process parameters
    char *processParamsOffset = (char*)pbi.PebBaseAddress + 0x20; // hard coded offset for x64 apps
    char *processParameters = NULL;
    if(ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, processParamsOffset, &processParameters, sizeof(processParameters), NULL))
    {
        printf("UserProcessParameters: %p\n", processParameters);
    }
    else
    {
        printf("Error ReadProcessMemory (%u)\n", GetLastError());
    }

    // find the address to the environment table
    char *environmentOffset = processParameters + 0x80; // hard coded offset for x64 apps
    char *environment = NULL;
    ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, environmentOffset, &environment, sizeof(environment), NULL);
    printf("environment: %p\n", environment);

    // copy the environment table into our own memory for scanning
    wchar_t *localEnvBlock = new wchar_t[64*1024];
    ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, environment, localEnvBlock, sizeof(wchar_t)*64*1024, NULL);

    // find the variable to edit
    wchar_t *found = NULL;
    wchar_t *varOffset = localEnvBlock;
    while(varOffset < localEnvBlock + 64*1024)
    {
        if(varOffset[0] == '\0')
        {
            // we reached the end
            break;
        }
        if(wcsncmp(varOffset, L"ENVTEST=", 8) == 0)
        {
            found = varOffset;
            break;
        }
        varOffset += wcslen(varOffset)+1;
    }

    // check to see if we found one
    if(found)
    {
        size_t offset = (found - localEnvBlock) * sizeof(wchar_t);
        printf("Offset: %Iu\n", offset);

        // write a new version (if the size of the value changes then we have to rewrite the entire block)
        if(!WriteProcessMemory(hProcess, environment + offset, L"ENVTEST=def", 12*sizeof(wchar_t), NULL))
        {
            printf("Error WriteProcessMemory (%u)\n", GetLastError());
        }
    }

    // cleanup
    delete[] localEnvBlock;
    CloseHandle(hProcess);

    return 0;
}

样例输出:

>set ENVTEST=abc

>cppTest.exe 13796
Target PID: 13796
PEB: 000007FFFFFD3000
UserProcessParameters: 00000000004B2F30
environment: 000000000052E700
Offset: 1528

>set ENVTEST
ENVTEST=def

笔记

这种方法也仅限于安全限制。如果目标在更高的海拔或更高的帐户(如SYSTEM)上运行，那么我们将没有权限编辑它的内存。

如果你想对一个32位的应用程序这样做，上面的硬编码偏移量将分别更改为0x10和0x48。这些偏移量可以通过在调试器中转储_PEB和_RTL_USER_PROCESS_PARAMETERS结构体来找到(例如在WinDbg dt _PEB和dt _RTL_USER_PROCESS_PARAMETERS中)

要将概念证明更改为OP需要的内容，只需枚举当前系统和用户环境变量(如@tsadok的答案所记录的那样)，并将整个环境表写入目标进程的内存中。

Edit: The size of the environment block is also stored in the _RTL_USER_PROCESS_PARAMETERS struct, but the memory is allocated on the process' heap. So from an external process we wouldn't have the ability to resize it and make it larger. I played around with using VirtualAllocEx to allocate additional memory in the target process for the environment storage, and was able to set and read an entirely new table. Unfortunately any attempt to modify the environment from normal means will crash and burn as the address no longer points to the heap (it will crash in RtlSizeHeap).

使用“setx”并重新启动cmd提示符

有一个名为“setx”的命令行工具用于此作业。 它用于读取和写入env变量。 这些变量在命令窗口关闭后仍然存在。

创建或修改用户或系统环境中的环境变量，而不需要编程或脚本。setx命令还检索注册表项的值，并将它们写入文本文件。

注意:通过此工具创建或修改的变量将在以后的命令窗口中可用，但在当前CMD.exe命令窗口中不可用。所以，你必须重新开始。

如果缺少setx:

或修改注册表

MSDN说:

若要以编程方式添加或修改系统环境变量，请使用add 他们去 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ \控制会话 Manager\Environment注册表项，然后广播一个WM_SETTINGCHANGE 消息，lParam设置为字符串“环境”。 这允许应用程序(如shell)接收您的更新。
