CMD opens window store when I type python

Question

Today when I tryed to run a simple code on Sublime Text 3, the following message appeard:

Python was not found but can be installed from the Microsoft

Answer 1

The main problem here is that the order in the path calls the windows from top to bottom, and that there is python.exe in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps which is called first if there are no other python.exes in the PATH above that line.

To ensure that the correct python.exe is called, add the python installation folder (containing python.exe) to the PATH, above %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps

Here is an example:

• To get to this location, click "Start" -> start typing "Env" -> Select "Edit the system environment variables" -> "Environment variables" -button -> Select the entry for "Path" in the upper list -> Click "Edit".

• Python components should be at the top, as in step 5. If not, move up by pressing the button in step 6.
