Where do you set SFDX Salesforce CLI Environment Variables

This page says I can turn auto-update off by using the following command: SFDX_AUTOUPDATE_DISABLE and gives a Unix example.

I'm running windows, where do I actually set this? I don't see a config file in the sfdx Program Files directory

@Sandhya - So this is just an OS variable? I was thinking I had to add it to some SFDX config file or VSCode setting. I wish the doc was more clear. Anyways thanks for the reply.

Thats the documentions around this :
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_dev.meta/sfdx_dev/sfdx_dev_cli_env_variables.htm

And this is how you can add a variable on your cli :
export SFDX_AUTOUPDATE_DISABLE=true

For Windows, edit your user environment variables. Type "environment variables" into the start bar, click edit env. variables for your account. Click PATH variable and edit..and then click new.. ensure you select where you installed the CLI, e.g. C:\Program Files\Salesforce CLI\bin
This will enable you to use the CLI from anywhere in the C drive path :-) meaning you can then use the sfdx commands in powershell and or visual code!
