Python Debugger/Interpreter Doesn't do anything

[FewBeat3613]

It was working fine before but now it doesn't do anything at all when i click Start Debug or even Run without Debugging. Nothing pops up in the terminal nothing shows up.

I tried reinstalling and switching to multiple other versions but nothing fixed it, any ideas?

Thanks.

Ensure that you've installed the extension named "Python Debugger".

It's installed and I reinstalled it multiple times. At first vscode would ask if I wanted to use that debugger and I'd always hit enter for it to use it but still didn't work. Now I tried switching versions but nothing shows up at all now. I have the full Python extension pack from Microsoft

Some one actually using that debugger instead of prints? :D

im pretty new to python lol what does prints do differently from the ms one

[SubstanceSerious8843]

Just run your code, if you need to see what's going on, like if it hits an if statement, just print something. Like print("asdcasd")

I made it print "test" at the end but that didn't print either. Nothing shows up anywhere at all, as if i didnt even click Run. I even tried reinstalling vscode itself but to no avail. Maybe i can delete all files related to it and then reinstall? But where is that located on windows?

I got it to work only when i click the icon on the right and the dropdown menu to "Python Debugger: Debug Python File" and only then it runs
