In making the setting, I reviewed all settings and found some debris from apps no longer installed (uninstall does not seem to clean any ENV/Path settings ) It might help your system performance to clean things up)

In a command prompt window: Type set<and hit enter>

I found at least 3 entries on my PATH that no longer are present (eyeballed Program files, and program files (x86) )
I also found a couple that were IMHO, placed early in the list (higher priority) that I reordered (this is done using the same setting tool used for setting ENV)

for those who don't know: When a program is requested, the PATH folders are searched in order until it is located. it look no further, which may miss a newer/better version because it was later on the list. The INVERSE may also be true. You NEED the older version. Your job is to find which way works.
