Hi I just got started learning neo4j as well and got impounded by the same problem, this is what I did to resolve it:
The issue was my user had a corrupted PATH env variable.
First, I checked if the wmic.exe was present in C:\windows\system32\wbem directory, you can check yours as well.
If true - add that path to env variable PATH. i.e -> %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem
If not - use system-wide search to find that executable. it should be somewhere inside Windows folder.
happy learning
PS: I am on Windows 10 pro
