Whenever I want to use pip I get a ModuleNotFoundError

Question

Whenever I type 'pip' into commandline I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\python39\lib\runpy.py", line 197, in _run_module_as_main
    return _run_code(code, main_globals, None,
  File "c:\python39\lib\runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "C:\Python39\Scripts\pip.exe\__main__.py", line 4, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'

I already tried to update 'pip' with using c:\python39\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip but there I get:

c:\python39\python.exe: No module named pip

If I replace 'pip' with 'pip3' the same thing happens.

Here is a screenshot of the path variable in system environment variables which shows that pip and python are in the path variable.

Does anyone have ideas for me to fix this error so I can continue programming my python programs.

One thing you can do is go to all list of programs and edit python install from there — , Aug 16 '21 at 12:46
