no. you do not need a variable named gzip at all. You need to add the new path, that points to the binary, at the end of the PATH
Like this for winzip, but do it for gzip.

Like this for winzip, but do it for gzip.
https://kb.corel.com/en/125976
imagine you know nothing of paths, binaries, or commands and this is your first time doing this. What is the path itself that I'm supposed to put at the end of?
Where did you install the gzip binary?
Based on what you said earlier I assumed it was in:
‘’C:\Program Files\(x86)\GnuWin32\bin”
so slap a semicolon at the end and then copy paste the path above at the end.
You will then need to close out any cmd.exe windows and open a new one to test if gzip is now in your path.
That should work unless you installed gzip in a different path but I have now way of knowing that so I need your help with that on your end.
Like this?
%programfiles(x86)%\GnuWin32\bin;‘’C:\Program Files\(x86)\GnuWin32\bin"
It would be easier if you jsut typed exactly what needs ot be pasted there.
Guessing how you installed your programs and using that to explicitly create a path for you to copy and paste at the end of the current paths listed in your system is exactly what I did. There will be a bunch of other paths listed based on other software yiu have installed that needs to stay there but I don’t have any way of knowing what that might be. Please take a look at the link that I provided as it walks through pictures of exactly what you need to click. The only thing different will be that instead of winzip you will add your gzip path. I hope this helps.

Appreciated.
Let’s try it like this:
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to wherever you find gzip installed.
Once you find gzip go to the top of the Windows Explorer bar and highlight the path. Take whatever that path might be and copy paste it into the PATH environment variable with double quotes on the outside of the entire thing. Click OK and then open and new cmd.exe window and try to run gzip again just like you did before.
Great, then you will have no Issues doing it again and taking a screenshot of your PATH with the requested data inside and a screenshot of trying to execute gzip.
In addition, please include a screenshot of Windows Explorer in the folder with the gzip executable.
You did something different this time.
You are not editing the PATH variable like you did just a couple comments above.
Please don’t change that part.
Carefully copy the path information here:
and open the PATH environment variable and paste the path from above here:

That's what I did, i clicked edit text and put quotes around the "entire thing" like you said
which made it one entry
Still gives the error
'gzip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
You clicked OK (to saved it) and then opened up a new cmd.exe Window and tried gzip.exe?
send a screenshot of the following command (do it right after you see a failure to run gzip)
This will show the actual PATH as inherited by cmd.exe
Do you still have a variable set for gzip itself from previous attempts?
If you can’t find it please run this:
set > random_filename
and then attach random_filename here.
(remove your name and any other PII from the file.)
yes there is still a variable set.
I don't quite follow the instructions after that.
Delete any environment variable called gzip. It is incorrect and will cause your command to fail.

Thing is , the videos work fine in the Edge Dev and Canary builds. But whatever the fix they made was, has never been pushed to Beta or Stable builds. Its been that way for as far back as I tested. Which was Edge 84. They are on 125 now.+1

@RedColoredStars, Yeah, and I was in quite a mood at that time. I would consider choosing Firefox or Opera instead, been using Firefox for over 7 years now than Chrome. -

Tried contacting Nintendo to see if they can reach out to MS about it. But Nintendo said the videos are working fine. Without enough people saying no, they don't work fine, it will never get fixed.

I have Firefox and used it for many years. But Edge runs noticible faster on my pc at both opening and loading pages.

I don't think Nintendo will know anything about troubleshooting Edge. They mostly do technical support regarding their console family.

Right. But they could create a ticket that gets forwarded to the proper team. I think Nintendo would care that their videos aren't working on a major browser
