Fixing “python” command opening windows store

Programming . Python

It used to be that if you had python installed, and you typed in the command line “python” you got this:

python cmd

With this you would be able to run all kind of scripts and commands after typing python.

Unfortunately after windows update May 2019, if you type “python” in the command line windows store opens automatically and this happens:

They did this to make it easier for now users to install python, but at the same time they created some confusion for existing users, because now even if had python installed, typing python still opens the windows store.

To access python, you now have to type “py” instead

To turn off this functionality type on the start menu “app execution aliases”

and a new windows will open where you can turn this off

Problem Solved
