Python was not found, but i have a path to it-CodePudding

I just downloaded and added a PATH to python, but my cmd still doesn't recognize it.

When I type python --version i get:

Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Manage App Execution Aliases.

This is very strange because when I type “Where python” it says:

C:\Users\nando\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe
C:\Users\nando\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe

and when I type echo %path% it does show up the path (along with many other paths):

C:\Users\nando\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts\

I also have a path in my User variables, the path python makes self by installing (I selected add PATH).

What can i do so it does work?

edit: Pip does work, i tried to instal pygame without any problems.

CodePudding user response：

looks like the path is wrong. The set path goes to

....\Python310\Scripts

while the .exe resides in

....\Python310\

CodePudding user response：

You could try adding the path to the system variables, making it accessible to all users.

Also, try running the command python3 --version.
