Hello, am having issues running commands in the Windows Terminal app located in C:\Windows\System32 with cmd and powershell (ssh, ipconfig, e.t.c.) and i get the following error:

ssh : The term 'ssh' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the s
pelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ ssh
+ ~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (ssh:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

The directory C:\Windows\System32 is located in the environment variables and they are working properly in powershell and cmd applications.
