Answer 1

I had the same issue for a long time and I spent God knows how much on it until I accidentally figured what to do. This solution worked on windows 10. All you need to do is to add C:\WINDOWS\System32 to Path variable under User Variables in Environmental Variables... Note that if you add this to the system variables, it may also work. But, that didn't work for me.
