Try this:

Either Uninstall Python completely and reinstall or select modify.

When installing fresh, make sure “add Python to path” is selected.
Select “Customize Installation” tick on all boxes.
Next
Tick “Install for all users” <----- this was what was making my install stick.

Seems to work now.

Yeah,

It’s hidden in the customization menu. You won’t see it if you go next, next.

It pops up again if you try to reinstall and choose “repair”

Adds the path for you.

Great to hear you got it working.
