WinGet and Path Not Updating

Justin Bird ran into some trouble:

Whilst I predominantly use MacOS, I do have to run a Windows VM for certain apps (cough Power BI cough). I ran into an issue recently when trying to installing apps on a vanilla Windows 10 build using Winget via the terminal in VS Code.

After installing the app, I found that the PATH environment variable was not updated, which meant I couldn’t run the app from the command line without specifying the full path.

Read on to learn what the issue was and how Justin was able to fix it.
