Javac is not recognized

Question

Recently I started a fresh install of windows 10, however javac seemed to stop working.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>javac -version
'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Here is a screenshot of my path:

Thanks! Please tell me if you have the solution.

Change all the path to the Java directory – Sep 16 '17 at 18:02 — , Sep 16 '17 at 18:02
You mean remove everything else from my path? – Miroslav Sep 16 '17 at 18:03 — Miroslav, Sep 16 '17 at 18:03

Make once again sure that javac is in the PATH that is set for your shell. Watch the output of echo %PATH%. I bet JDK's bin directory is not listed there.

If you set the PATH via System Settings in Windows, you have to close and re-open the terminal to make the changes take effect.

EDIT: Also remove the semikolon from the path to the JDK. Then it should work.

Remove the quotes from the last entry. – Monkey Supersonic Sep 16 '17 at 18:14
They're not really there. This is what happens when I edit path: https://imgur.com/a/44yeK – Miroslav Sep 16 '17 at 18:17

In windows, environment variables are case-insensitive. – Monkey Supersonic Sep 16 '17 at 18:12
