Note that, on Windows, the Ghostscript executable is not called gs, it is either gswin32, gswin32c, gswin64 or gswin64c, depending on whether you install the 32 or 64 bit version and want the command line or windowed version of the interactive interpreter.

Thanks for the answer. The problem turned out to be that in my PATH I needed to be less specific; leaving it at \bin rather than \bin\gswin32c.exe – InstaK0 May 28 '20 at 17:19
