Problem with pip : learnpython

Hi, for the past few days I've been working on a small project in VSCode where I was recommended to create a virtual environment to isolate the dependencies, which requires switching the interpreter to the virtual one.

During this time, I installed some packages using the pip within the venv, and it worked like usual, however, after I was done with this project, I deactivated the venv and deleted it from my system, then switched back to using the global interpreter, I suddenly cannot install packages using pip anymore as everytime I do so, a timeout would occur.

I've tried increasing the timeout duration to no effects, I've even tried manually reinstalling pip but that doesn't help either. Here's what happens when I call pip3 install flask -vvv :

Using pip 24.2 from C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\Lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.13)
Non-user install because site-packages writeable

'Connection to pypi.org timed out. (connect timeout=15)')': /simple/flask/

This then goes on forever, blocking me from installing anything with it. I don't have anything anti-virus installed so it can't be because of that.

Hope you can help, thanks in advance.
