CMD doesn't update environment variables

Question

When I edit the system environment variable PATH (or any other, I imagine) through Control Panel\System and Security\System > Advanced system settings, it doesn't update in CMD, even after restarting CMD or the computer.

I'm on Windows 8.1. I have admin privileges.

As pointed out by Burgi, just run as admin.
