Error: Unable to find git in your PATH despite adding path and trying all available solutions

Question

I have been trying to install Flutter on Windows 11 and keep on getting stuck on

Error: Unable to find git in your PATH

I have been looking around and kept on trying different ways to get it to recognise the path but nothing seems to work:

• When installing git I made sure that the installer would add the path variables

• I added

  C:\Program Files\Git\bin
  C:\Program Files\Git\cmd
  

  to the user paths

• I also tried to add

  C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe
  

  instead of just the folder (not actually sure which one is the better approach)

But none of this changed anything. I also tried to add

C:\Windows\System32

to the system variables but that gives me the error:

Error: PowerShell executable not found.
       Either pwsh.exe or PowerShell.exe must be in your PATH.

At this point I am out of ideas what else to do, I reinstalled git multiple times and restarted as well, always with the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated

(also, when I type git --version I get git version 2.35.1.windows.2)

So this video has helped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jrmxXtK_0k

I added to my system path variables:

1. the flutter bin file
2. C:\Windows\System32
3. C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe
4. C:\Program Files\Git\cmd
5. C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0

once all of those are added flutter does run in the console. I just have no idea it was needed when lots of other tutorials get along without it.
