    Im not really sure whats the deal here, but your are starting an cmd (interactive shell) in your py script? What should it return, if it normaly opens an cmd window? Commented Nov 17, 2022 at 9:11

Backslashes will have to be escaped within the path.

So you will have to write it like this:

exec("C:\\Users\\Json\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\python.exe C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\app\\test.py 2>&1", $output);
print_r($output);

That sounds like a different problem. Can you run the command within exec from the cmd?
with single slash it runs no error , also py was not running
It seems like something is wrong with your permissions / python installation. The code works fine for me with the exact paths you are using.
Ah, I see. I would assume your apache service doesn't have the correct permissions. You could try to configure the correct user or run it as admin. To do that just double click it in service.msc and there should be an option to login with a specific account. You could also open the path of the *.exe file and configure it to always run as admin.
