VS Code terminal doesn't recognize PATH variables

Question

I added a directory to my PATH but the terminal in my VS Code doesn't recognize a command(exe) that I'm trying to run from that directory. The terminal uses cmd not power shell. What am I missing?

Answer 1

Restarted my computer and it worked :) Apparently VS Code didn't recognize the changes.

Answer 2

For me, a simple restart of VSC did the trick.
