maybe should you check the size of the %PATH% variable:
I'm not sure if the limit is 4091 or 2047 |

@stonebig My %PATH% variable length was always fine. Somehow It got truncated at some point however(unrelated). What is related is that WinPython doesn't respond or really even give an error when the %PATH% variable is incorrectly set. |

For some reason my Path variable did not have many common system paths.
If the System path variable does include some combination of
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\(source)Then the
WinPython Control Panelwill not open any window at all, and will display no error message.Opening the
WinPython Interpreterwill spawn a cmd.exe application with the error'find' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.It would be a good idea to spawn a more informative error message when the proper DLLs(or programs) cannot be found for a proper sad path.
