It seems like you miss some steps while setting up flutter on your machine!
try out this link

[abhi-tupparwar]

did exactly the same it won't work , I tried to redo the entire procedure still it gives me the same crash log can't figure out what's going wrong

[abhi-tupparwar]

got it up and running needed to " C:\Windows\System32 " to Path variable

[sakshamsri4]

I am having the same issue, this issue started after I upgraded my flutter, before that it was working fine.
