In my case, I had a folder gClould and gCloud.staging after updating. I could not remove the gCloud folder so I closed all my apps first, then renamed the folder, and changed the gCloud.staging to gCloud. Everything worked after that. For some, this could be your problem, especially it was working before.

Good luck!

Answer 3

If it is still not working you should also add path for Google Cloud SDK Staging in your system path,

C:\Program Files\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk.staging\bin

So you require both of the following in your system path property

• C:\Program Files\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\bin

Answer 6

Me too had the same issue that

'gcloud is not recognized as an internal or external command' .

For windows 7 user goto: MyComputer->Right Click - Properties -> Advanced System Settings - advanced - Environment Variables.

First have to set path extension.

This can be done by:

Under System variables in Environment variables choose PATHEXT->Edit -> Add ' ;.PY'.....PY for Python Support

Second change the environment variable:

Under System variables in Environment variables choose PATH->Edit-> ADD "C:\Program Files\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\bin " and click OK.

Now restart the command shell and check with the following command :

'gcloud -h'

Sure it will work.
