Hello gang, I am having issues using Node version manager on windows. I have checked my environmental variables, manually added paths via my bash file, and i used the powershell, command prompt, and git bash. NVM commands work fine but node -v and npm -v will not work at all. Incredibly frustrating as i was in the middle of working on AWS services so this is incredibly counter productive. Any advice?

I should add that i was using the latest version of node up until today without any issues. An application or project i was working on necessitated an older version of Node.js. The Windows support article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-environment/javascript/nodejs-on-windows explains in few details additional processes i could take to resolve the issue so i have been relying on information found on the web. I can send photos of my environmental variables although i am very cautious uploading any information regarding my local machine via a subreddit about programmers learning. Unfortunately not all humans live for the betterment of the human race. If anyone has dealt with this problem. let me know a resource i can delve into or how you resolved the issue.
