You still can run it from File explorer on Windows 10 with the proper path. You just need to go to C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\lib\monitor-x86_64 and double click the file monitor.

If you want to use in the cmd just the 'monitor' command you have to add this folder (in my case with android studio 3.4.1 and win10) to your Environment variables. So, press the start button and then type Edit the system environment variabes click it and System properties window should open. Then go to

Environment variables => System variables => path

press the Edit button for path and add the new value

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\lib\monitor-x86_64

click 'Ok', 'Ok' and 'Ok' and restart the cmd window if you had it opened and type 'monitor' and it should open the monitor as well.

Hope it helps!
