This cannot be reproduced in latest Windows nightly (2018-01-18 revision ef13b97ff) when system environmental variables have not been been installed at KiCad installation, however see the following.
This problem might be due to system environmental variables having been installed by default and (by design*) overriding the ones defined under Configure Paths.
I suggest that the option to install system environmental variables is ticked off by default in the installer instead of currently being on by default, as this is has been recurring problem for many users. (Perhaps a message could also be added at first run after install in Eeschema, like in PCBnew, with instruction to check the defined symbol paths, as those predefined are usually incorrect for Windows users.)
[*As I understand the system environmental variables are designed to be a quick way for developers to install default paths specific to their system by overriding those under Configure Paths].
