Microsoft improves Environment Variables editor in latest Windows 10 build

[212eta]

The Windows operating system uses two sets of Environment Variables: system variables and user variables.

The former is a set of critical system variables like the path of the Windows directory or the command line interpreter that is being used while the latter defines variables set by a particular user either by setting them directly or installing programs on the system that made the modifications for the user.

While it is usually not necessary to modify these variables often, you may have come into contact with

them after installing Java or another program that made use of these environment variables.

The default Environment Variables editor of Windows lacked heavily in the usability department,

mainly because it displayed values in a single line editable interface that was limited in length.
