  • Have you restarted your PC since the install? On Windows the $PATH environment variable only gets loaded on startup, so the new install of Python might not be "visible" yet Commented Mar 13, 2022 at 17:20
  • What's the result of python --version in the terminal out of the VSCode? Commented Mar 16, 2022 at 8:42

    The result is: Python 3.10.2 Commented Mar 17, 2022 at 15:33
  • Same problem here. Python IS in the path. I can run both python --version and python3 --version in the terminal inside VS Code and it works. But it keeps saying Python is not installed when starting VS Code. Commented May 10, 2022 at 13:03

you probably installed Python from windows store. Please install from python website. Make sure to mark Add Python 3.X to PATH during installation. Then reopen your VScode.
