[issue24757] Installing Py on Windows: Need to restart or logout for path to be added

[Steve Dower]

Sorry, but we don't have any way to update the current terminal process. We already update the current shell, so if you start a new terminal/Powershell/cmd/etc. instance it should have the updated variable. 

The workaround you posted is fine. Directly adding the new install to the current PATH is also okay.
