Installed a tool or changed PATH / environment variables on Windows, and VS Code's terminal still can't see it? This extension adds a Refresh Env button to the status bar that reloads the Windows environment (Machine + User) into VS Code, so you don't have to restart VS Code.
Usage
Click Refresh Env in the status bar, or run Refresh Terminal Environment (PATH) from the Command Palette.
The current terminal is refreshed in place; if none is open, a fresh one is opened.
All new terminals also start with the up-to-date environment.
