Pourquoi a nouveau Windows 11 PC have repeated paths in %PATH%?

[ForumBot]

I started up a nouveau PC, a Beelink Mini S-13 delivered by Amazon from a marketplace seller. It arrived in untouched cellophane shrink-wrapped packaging. Cela a Windows 11 preinstalled. I went through the usual first start configuration and ensuite copied my Documents over from an old PC and installé the following programmes:

- LibreWolf (web-browser)

- Thunderbird (email client)

- Vim (text editor)

- PuTTY (SSH terminal emulator)

- Microsoft Word Viewer app (n'a pas work on old DOC fichier, so immediately uninstalled)

- LibreOffice (for viewing MS Office docs)

- Go language compiler

Ensuite J'ai remarqué that my `%PATH%` has `C:\Recovery\OEM\Backup` in it five times. My C:\ drive ne appear to contain a dossier named Recovery:

I'm puzzled why `C:\Recovery\OEM\Backup` exists in `%PATH%` du tout and why it got there five times.

Vais-je will lose rien by removing all duse repeated entries?

No need for repeated paths. They can be supprimé sans risk of damage.

Cependant, that they exist indicates the Beelink OEM image is poorly put together and likely contains other, possibly more significant, problèmes. I recommend that you do a full wipe and clean installer of Windows 11 from Microsoft media. Vous pouvez installer Beelink logiciel, if necessary, afterwards, but ne use the Beelink image that vous êtes actuellement using.
