Reproduction steps

I'm trying to globally install pm2, but it will not work. I'm getting an error that "The configured global bin directory "C:\Users\noahy\AppData\Local\pnpm" is not in PATH", even though it very clearly is right here:

In the photo, you can see my PNPM_HOME variable and the exact same path that the error is saying is NOT in the path.

All I did was run npm install -g pnpm and then pnpm setup and this is where I am currently

Describe the Bug

The bug is that I am trying to install a global package and it won't let me due to an error that I can't really diagnose as it's basically wrong.

Expected Behavior

I expected the package to install globally to my system so I could use it.
I used a new terminal and even restarted my computer after running pnpm setup but it still did not work.

I've also tried running the terminal as Administrator and not administrator, I have the directory set in my system path and user path but still no luck.

Sorry, it was an issue where my environment variables weren’t saving for some reason, it’s good now. Thanks!

Found the issue with more detail, it was something I messed up when setting up PowerShell profile for FNM, it was setting the path to a old version that I had and I fixed it.
