C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\profile.ps1

$env:Path += ";C:\Users\YourUserName\PathToMPV\"

C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\profile.ps1

$env:Path += ";C:\Users\YourUserName\PathToMPV\"

it's only temporary after closing it you have to try doing it again

Then you have done something wrong. You add that line to your powershell profile.ps1, as I wrote, it will be in your environment for all spawned sessions. I've been using it like this for years without issue. The only quirk is autocomplete the binary (using tab) selects mpv.com first before mpv.exe but this isn't an issue as mpv.com works just fine to launch the player.
