	Add C:\PHP7 to your Windows system path: Open the System Control Panel. Click 'Advanced System Settings'. Click the 'Environment Variables...' button. Click on the Path row under 'System variables', and click 'Edit...' Click 'New' and add the row C:\PHP7. Click OK, then OK, then OK, and close out of the System Control Panel. Open PowerShell or another terminal emulator (I generally prefer cmder), and type in php -v to verify PHP is working.



	

 

do you have any Workaround!?


ps - on Linux this would be no problem at all..

I have to ask, as a general question, not just pertaining to this thread...

 

HOW?

 

How are you having so many issues with relatively simple tasks? Setting up Wordpress, installing and configuring PHP?

 

Almost daily you’ve another issue and another issue and another issue. It’s like you are using deliberately cripples OS’s or something because for years now these have been ridiculously easy tasks.  And yet some of your other questions seem to be digging into deeper areas, the sort of things that if you have any grasp on, then you’d have installed PHP in your sleep.

 

Not an attack, just genuine confusion. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t get it...

    • Two ways information like this is passed on. 1. The developers release the "how-to" content and Neowin passes it on. 2. Neowin, or anyone else in the tech community figure out how to do it, Neowin passes it on. Which one are you?
    • On my PC, when using UWP, I have a recurring issue with the scroll bar disappearing after sending a message with a pasted image or text. The only way to fix it was to close and reopen WhatsApp. Now I'll still need this workaround to free up memory in WPA, since that's what I need to do when the WhatsApp tab is consuming 4 GB of RAM after being open for a long time.
    • It’s not just that malware can escape the sandbox but that having Windows Sandbox enabled leaves a vector for malware on the host to hide from AV solutions. The likelihood of this happening must be low but depends on your risk appetite. https://windowsforum.com/threa...x-for-cyber-attacks.356358/

    • Ironically, I do have audio engineering experience, but still find the different flavors of VB-Audio's VoiceMeeter (and more advanced options like Banana and Potato) to be a little unintuitive. Yes, I can figure them out, but despite having a UI that looks like an audio mixer, they don't exactly follow typical audio mixing conventions, so it takes a little time to figure out how the software works. Still, I feel like for what you are asking for, VoiceMeeter is a good solution. If you're interested, I could probably create a quick how-to video.
