PATH environment variable error

In order to run behat tests on my localhost machine I need to install Composer. For Composer to work it requires me to declare my PHP installation in the Windows environment variable PATH.
All works OK, except that I get this error notice in WAMPSERVER
-------
Warning: There is Wampserver path (c:/wamp64)
into Windows PATH environnement variable: (C:\wamp64\bin\php\php8.1.13)
Warning: It seems that a PHP installation is declared in the environment variable PATH
C:\wamp64\bin\php\php8.1.13
Wampserver does not use, modify or require the PATH environment variable.
Using a PATH on Wampserver or PHP version
may be detrimental to the proper functioning of Wampserver.
------
Is there anything I should do?

A suggestion for you that I wrote in another place

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Windows 10 Pro 64bit) (Wampserver 3.3.4 64bit) Aestan Tray Menu 3.2.5.4
<Apache versions MULTIPE> <PHP versions MULTIPLE> <MySQL Versions MULTIPLE>
<MariaDB versions MULTIPLE> <phpMyAdmin versions MULTIPLE> <MySQL Workbench 8.0.23>

Read The Manuals Apache -- MySQL -- PHP -- phpMyAdmin
Get your Apache/MySQL/mariaDB/PHP ADDONs here from the WAMPServer alternate Repo

Thanks to you both for fast replies! I suppose that if I still want to keep that php path in my Windows environment variables It's still OK? It does work, I only get the error reminder.

Right-Click -> Wamp Settings -> Caution: Risky! Only for experts -> Do not verify PATH

But... At your own risk!

I've done that (alghough I'm far from being an expert)!!!

WampServer version 3.3.3 No longer displays the error and the "Do not verify PATH" seems to have disappeared from the WampSettings. That's fine!
