There are two places to add environment variables:
the System Variables and the User Variables.
See https://www.copsmodels.com/gpsetenv.htm
for screenshots.
Did you check both?  (Also, it's possible the list
might need scrolling to see the end.)

Also, changes only show up when you start a new cmd.exe,
maybe you were looking at a cmd.exe window that had
been started before the change.
