Unless you're on Windows 11. You open the console, type "python", for some reason the Windows App Store launches and goes to a "python app". You think to yourself you should probably install Python from the source, so you go to pythons website and download and run the installer, you select "add to path", you run it and it STILL goes to the Windows App Store. So at this point you Google It. You find that you need to use the Windows search bar to find "Manage app execution aliases" and unselect the aliases using python. You then try calling "python" again in CMD, and its not found. You open user environment variables GUI, and find that the PATH was not modified. You again Google "where is python installed" and then you manually append that to PATH and it works. This is the wonderful experience of installing Python in Windows.
