| Jan 5, 2023 at 10:18 | comment | added | user123511 | @Blunder Man you are AMAZING! That was it!!! When typing "Umgebungsvariablen" ("environment variables") it showed me "environment variables FOR THIS ACCOUNT. Thank you so much, man! If you want to, you can suggest the solution and I give you the check mark. | |
| Jan 4, 2023 at 17:49 | comment | added | Blunder | Try this: Click the Windows Start button & type Umgebungsvariablen (for "environment variables"). This should show you the correct control panel and directly open the dialog as shown in the bottom left of your screenshot. The dialog should be called "Umgebungsvariablen" and below there should be Umgebungsvariablen für chris (and not ...für User 2 as in your screenshot). Change there the path and open a new console window. Then it should work. | |
| Jan 4, 2023 at 17:30 | comment | added | Blunder | Is User 2 your admin user? The problem is that you changed the environment variables for User 2 but the console window is started by user chris (different user context). My guess is that you're logged in as chris but when you open the system control Windows asks you for the login of a different (admin) user. It does this on my computer. The crazy thing is there are at least 3 system controls/configs dialogs in Win 10. >,< | |
| Jan 4, 2023 at 16:38 | comment | added | user123511 | @Blunder Strangely there is no blender in the path unter: Path=C:\Program Files ... Besides the other lines, it says: Username=chris ... userprofile=C:\Users\chris ... hmm I also don't see any option to change user2 to chris in the dialog | |
| Jan 4, 2023 at 15:55 | comment | added | Blunder | To track the problem: 1) close the edit dialog and open a new console to ensure that all changes take effect. 2) then check the environment variables by entering set in the console and hitting enter/return key. Check the PATH and the USERNAME variables. In the path list, there should be the blender directory. 3) select the blender path + hit enter to copy it, then change the folder in the console with cd "<paste path here>" incl. the quotes (") to check if the folder exists and you have access rights. 4) Try to start blender.exe there | |
| Jan 4, 2023 at 15:50 | comment | added | Blunder | Just saying, in the console window the user's home directory seems to be chris, while in the dialogs it's User2. I would expect the same name here. | |
