Running python file in command line yields no output

Question

After deliberating about this question here it looks like something is wrong with my command prompt.

Even the file called test.py containing the following code

 print("hi")

doesn't lead to any output being shown when called in my command prompt on windows 10

Output

C:\Users\Admin>python test.py

C:\Users\Admin>

Meaning nothing is printed.

As suggested in my original question I also tried running

python -u -c "print('hello')"

Which doesn't yield any output neither.

There is already a question concerned with the same problem, however doesn't have any answers yet.

Should it spell "from" or "in" command line in the heading ? — Christian Singer, Dec 08 '20 at 15:24
Either word would work. And you're saying that when you run `C:\Users\Admin>python test.py`, all it does is take you to the next line a print `C:\Users\Admin>` again? Or does it hang? — Carcigenicate, Dec 08 '20 at 15:27
It doesn't hang. There is a blank space and then it take me to the next line. I edited my post accordingly — Christian Singer, Dec 08 '20 at 15:30
I'd just completely uninstall the interpreter and reinstall the latest version. I don't know what exactly the issue is, but a reinstall never hurts. — Carcigenicate, Dec 08 '20 at 15:34

Apparently using the command prompt doesn't work, however I've been using the anaconda distribution for python and using the anaconda command prompt instead of the windows 10 one solves the problem.

Output

(base) C:\Users\Admin>python test.py
hi

(base) C:\Users\Admin>
