Description
I'm opening this for a customer who notes that in order to set `INFLUX_CONFIGS_PATH` on Windows:
>The path must not be enclosed in quotes
and
>the path can have whitespaces only if the env variable is set via Windows System Properties (not via the "set" command on the shell)
I cannot reproduce the second behavior using CLI v2.2.1 on Win 10.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the INFLUX_CONFIGS_PATH behavior on Windows 10 with a path containing spaces, comparing the shell "set" command with Windows System Properties using CLI v2.2.1. Trace how the CLI reads this environment variable and document whether both forms should work, along with a testable fix or confirmed reproduction.
