Path variable issue in cmd commands and java commands

Question

When I set path C:\Windows\System32, the ipconfig command works, but javac and java -version commands don't work.

While, when I set path variable to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.1\bin they work, but ipconfig command stops working.

How can I solve it in order to make work both the commands?

your c:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.1\bin isn't in your PATH — ewong, Jul 17 '20 at 07:17

Welcome to SO.

You can extend your PATH variable with additional directories instead of replacing it.

Add both the folders to path variable seperated by ';' eg

PATH1;PATH2

you need to set your path variable to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14.0.1\bin;C:\Windows\System32 – Vishal T Jul 17 '20 at 08:04
