Python not recognised as command

I know that I need to add Python to my PATH and I've tried to add it by copy and pasting its address C:\Users\aiden\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Python 3.6 to my PATH, but when I try to use python in the command prompt, it is not recognized as a command.

Here an image of my PATH variable:

It seems very unlikely that your python has been installed to the Start Menu path. Try

  1. Right-click on your 'Python 3.6' in your start menu path and open file location
  2. In the folder that appears, right-click on 'Python 3.6' and copy the text from 'Target'
  3. Add the Target-text into 'system environment variables' where the variable name is 'Path'

You might need to logout and in again, for this to take affect.
