Execute at the command line

composer config -l -g

In the result of the output, where the "home" configuration item content is the composer home directory, and then enter vendor\bin , the path is added to the environment variable.
As you can see from the error message above, the one you use to initialize the project vendor\bin is C:\Users\yanwushu\vendor\bin that you need to make sure that the path is composer the home directory and that the following vendor\bin exists. It is recommended to execute the method I said above, look at the path, and then add the correct path to the environment variable.
