How does it help starting CMD from bash?
Start it without bash and show the output of PATH command.
Or, better, show the output of

cat "/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Session Manager/Environment/PATH" | tr ";" "\n"
cat "/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Environment/PATH" | tr ";" "\n"

Or, even better,
