Claude Code Installation: Claude Code not found in PATH

[Bristopher]

Initially I used Claude Code on WSL and it worked perfectly, but something happened (CC may have automatically migrated my install to using "native Windows with Git Bash" as per the website) and now for my new projects it can't find Claude Code on Path even though it is on path (C:\Users\zz\AppData\Roaming\npm).

I have tried re-installing Claude Code and rins_hooks but still no difference.

H:\Code\Projects\xx\yy> npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

changed 1 package in 3s
H:\Code\Projects\xx\yy> npm install -g rins_hooks

added 94 packages in 4s
