Also, if the paths overlap, they will not be added. .EXAMPLE PS C:\>Add-WUEnvPath -Path $env:USERPROFILE In this example, add $env:USERPROFILE to the process scope path environment variable. .LINK Remove-WUEnvPath #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess, DefaultParameterSetName = 'Path')] param ( # Specifies a path to one or more locations.
