I do not have any locale-related env vars. You should check whether the warning is off on all Win10 systems, as well as Win7 and Win8. Many Windows users know nothing about ENV VARS, and even if they do, they may not know how (I don't know the details) or MAY NOT BE ABLE to set one permanently.

where (latest Win10): in the control panel, System and Security, System, Advanced system settings (left edge menu item),

On my system, accessing Advanced system settings requires an admin password.

Advanced Tab, Environment Variables (button).

Two sets of variables. User should always be able to set User variables that are in effect for all new processes launched after creation of the variable.

On my auto-updated Win 10 system, one may only set User variables for the admin account one gave the password for.

System variables may be locked down if not administrator.

Are locked down.

Both types are permanent, stored in the registry.

As I said, I seem to only be able to do so permanently with admin access.
