How do I access the current account environment variables from powershell?

Question

I am trying to track changes in my system as I install various programs. For example I have installed a few versions of python and kept checking my path variable which did not change. However my current account path did change. Without having admin rights a user can set environment variables for their account. How can I see these with powershell?

I'm looking for the User Variable Path highlighted in blue below, not the System variable named Path.

Answer 1

For user's environment variables, use this:

[Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariables("User")

Use either of the following for system's environment variables:

gci env:*
ls Env:
[Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariables("Machine")

For a particular variable:

[Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH","Machine")
