it was missing C:\Windows\System32\ in the PATH.
Problem solved.

@giacomorebonato I still understand how to solve this problem.

[RifeWang]

@giacomorebonato I solved this problem. update path and then restart my computer.

[mohammad-quanit]

Windows 10:
Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > System > Advanced system settings [on left bar]
Advanced Tab > Environment Variables Button
Select PATH variable, click Edit...
Click New button, and it'll allow you to add a new location to your PATH. Make sure you don't remove existing lines, or you'll break other programs that need it!
