Environment variable is too large on Windows 10

I have recently upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1.

Now I wanted to set an environment variable for my new installation of Apache Maven.

Each time I created the user variable, things were fine. However, I also need to create the system variable where I will need to append the bin directory to the variable that I already create in the user variable to be “path”.

Now, each time I do this, I get an error that says “This environment variable is too large”. As a result of this, I am unable to create the path.

I have attached an image of this error.

Enter image description here
