Right-click on This PC or My Computer.

Click on Properties.

Choose Advanced system settings.

Click on the Environment Variables button.

Under System Variables, locate Path and click Edit.

Add the correct Yarn install path, typically found in: C:\Users[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\Yarn\bin.

Click OK to save your changes.
