Given how they hijack paths with the WindowsApps\Python.exe, I am not hopeful. I have to handhold people setting up Python on Windows so they don't end up with the app store version, and they don't get their paths crossed and end up pip installing things in a version they don't use. It's seriously awful and the only solution is to delete the whole WindowsApps folders (safe to do, it just contains stubs).


The safer way is to disable the app execution aliases.
