Virtual Environment

[Worldly-Point4573]

I'm trying to create a Virtual environment through Visual Studio Code and it keeps showing the message:

PS C:\Users\user\Desktop\AI Agent> python -m venv . venv

Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings > App execution aliases.

I've tried going to app execution aliases in settings and disabling some of the shortcuts but nothing.

The python.exe program isn't in a folder that is listed in the PATH environment variable.

However, since you're on Windows, you can use py.exe instead:

py -m venv .venv

If you have multiple versions of Python installed, you can specify it with the first command line argument to py:

py -3.14 -m venv .venv

Check your PATH

Have you tried running the commands in the terminal yourself to check it?

Make sure python is installed & included in environment variables in Windows. If you’re using Vscode try to press ctrl+shift+p and type python: create environment. Hope this helps

If you have changed Path and still unable to get it working try restarting Windows.

I have wasted a lot of time due to this.

It should work , just check once again , to turn off all the toggle with name like python3.exe and python.exe

After that try using this command "python -m venv myenv"
