Hi there, since you're on PowerShell please run the following commands:

Get-Command -All vim | ForEach-Object { Write-Host $_.Source }

And

Get-Command -All vi | ForEach-Object { Write-Host $_.Source }

And

Write-Host (($Env:PATH -Split ";")-Join "`n")

Then paste output of each command separately here.

Note: copy and paste as text, do not take a screenshot

You executed the commands in cmd.exe shell rather than PowerShell.

On cmd.exe, please run the following commands instead and post the results:

where vim

and

where vi

and

set PATH
