Can't run mongo command on windows

Question

I tried t to set up Community MongoDB on my windwos pc. I followed the installation process and tried to set up the environment variables. I copied the pathes from my explorer, so the pathes should be correct. screenshot of my env

Nonetheless I can't use any mongo commands on my command shell. Anytime I try to run "mongo" or "mongodb" or "mongo --version" it says "command is either misspelled or couldn't be found". screenshot of my cmd shell

When I use the command "mongod" some strange code appears screenshot of my cmd shell

How can I solve this problem?

Yes I did a reastart and a reinstallation. Unfortunately still the same problem. — konsky, Feb 05 '23 at 13:36

Found the solution: you have to set up mongoshell first and then you can use the command "mongosh" to use it with the windows command. This tutorial helped me set everything up: youtube.com/watch?v=V-d6VAYrjeQ
