I have the same problem with Windows 11 and Python from M$ Store. This might be related to permissions: the user has no execute rights for python.exe, nor for python3.exe . Only python3.10.exe is executable. I did not succeed messing with access rights in the "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\" folder, nor with Apps > Default Apps in Control Panel, but solved it with Far Manager:

In F9 -> Commands -> File associations

create an association for *.py to be executed with python.exe . Then you can just press Enter on Python files to run them and get execution results in the same console.
