got it solved by first creating new  Path  variable under User variables  note that after fresh windows install Path variable is not created as User variable  only as system  after that  I appended  M2   pointing to maven dir bin  to  freshly created  user Path variable  after that restarted cmd window and it worked like a charm

This problem arise because there is no any environmental variable corresponding to installed maven in your OS  For fixing this problem  I always use Intellij s bundled Maven and do not install separate version of Maven again  for finding bundled Maven s path go to intellij and hit Ctrl Alt S - gt  Build  Execution  Deployment - gt  Build tool - gt  Maven - gt  Maven home directory you can find the intellij s bundled maven path there as below image demonstrates   Then go to System environment variables and set these variables   Variable name  MAVEN HOME Variable value  C  Program Files JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA 2019 3 1 plugins maven lib maven3   After defining system variable MAVEN HOME find variable path and add this line to the list  MAVEN HOME  bin  Work is done  open command prompt and test it by writing mvn -v  99 percent of the time it work  if you re among 1 percent  you have to restart your computer  If you want to use mvn command from intellij s internal terminal you have to restart intellij after setting environment variables  then you shouldn t have any problem running maven command from terminal

I did all of this in Windows 10 and still had a problem  In the end it turned out that  the path to the Maven home folder was not exactly what was expected in many of these answers as it turned out to be  apache-maven-3 6 3-bin apache-maven-3 6 3  Once I corrected this for both the system variables and the PATH variable  it worked  In short  if you have set the environment variables up as directed and it still won t work  I would double check to make sure the variables really point to the exact path to the Maven home folder and the bin folder on your machine
