Answer 1

Windows commands are not working

C:\Users\Kareem Khalil>echo %path%
;c:\\C:\Program Files (x86)\WinRAR;;c:\\C:\Program Files (x86)\WinRAR;C:\Program Files (x86)\BC5\BIN;C:\Users\Kareem Khalil\AppData\Roaming\npm;C:\New Folder;C:\New Folder

Your path is completely broken:

• It is missing essential entries for Windows executables (which is why you commands are not working)
• It should not contain \\ entries
• It should not contain repeated entries
• It should not contain entries containing strings like c:\\C:\
• It should not contain ;; entries

The correct (default) path on Windows 10 (and previous versions of Windows) is:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\

See What are PATH and other environment variables, and how can I set or use them? for instructions on how to fix your PATH to the correct value I have shown above.

Answer 2

In windows 10 there's a secondary option which may work instead of CMD its called PowerShell. Just follow instructions for that. Hope this helps.
