In PowerShell iex is an existing alias. That could be the problem.
You could unset the alias in your PowerShell profile for example.

when i open windows cmd as administrator iex shell is showing and i have sucessfully created a phoenix project.But inside that folder iex is not opening.Iex is only opening in this C:\Windows\System32\ it wont show if run iex command in the d folder or any other folder than C:\Windows\System32\
You could try removing Elixir and installing with Scoop (https://scoop.sh/). It takes care of paths for you, and installs exes in your home dir, which eliminates any possible file permissions issues. It also makes updates easier in future.
If you don’t solve your problem, perhaps include a bit more info eg. are you using powershell or cmd? And list your current env vars (env in cmd, or dir env: in powershell)

I have the same problem.
Windows 11 or Windows 10(reinstall,fresh). AMD threadripper 3996X.
Powershell(5.0|7.3.5), cmd, werl also exist.
But erl is ok.
What are your Erlang and Elixir versions?
erl --version
Erlang/OTP 26 [erts-14.0.2] [source] [64-bit] [smp:64:32] [ds:64:32:10] [async-threads:1] [jit:ns]
Eshell V14.0.2 (press Ctrl+G to abort, type help(). for help)

elixir --version
Erlang/OTP 26 [erts-14.0.2] [source] [64-bit] [smp:64:32] [ds:64:32:10] [async-threads:1] [jit:ns]
Elixir 1.15.1 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 24)
I installed them using scoop install erlang elixir.
I also tried install elixir by installer.
Thank you. Elixir v1.15.2 released with a fix, apologies.
