Java runs in cmd, but not from the PowerShell

Question

I just added the java folder to my Environment Variables. When I try to execute, for example, javac HelloWorld.java and java HelloWorld from the Windows command line (cmd), it executes normally. But if I open Windows Powershell and do the same, it says:

javac : The term 'javac' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check t
he spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ javac HelloWorld.java
+ ~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (javac:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Also, if I compile HelloWorld.java in cmd, it is possible to run java HelloWorld from the Powershell.

How can I execute javac from the Powershell?

Answer 1

Verify what you got from $env:path in powershell. Also from cmd echo %path% If javapath is not contain in powershell path, make sure you add properly.

Answer 2

Reinstalling Java (same version/installer) fixed this for me. No reboot was required.
