I just installed Python 3.10.1 on Windows 11 and while following some tutorials I started with the basics of making sure everything looks right in the command prompt. I also added all the necessary data into the PATH variable.

When I run the simple command pip, the result is "Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"C:\Python310\python.exe" "C:\Python310\Scripts\pip.exe" ': The system cannot find the file specified."

However, when I run the command py -m pip I get the results I would expect when running pip.

Is there a way to fix the original command, or is this a new Windows 11 or Python 3.10.1 update of syntax?

  • Why did you tag `PowerShell`? – iRon Dec 27 '21 at 18:41
  • Because I'm doing this in PowerShell. I apologize if I did this wrong, I'm just learning my way around posting in StackOverflow – Leaf Defi Dec 27 '21 at 18:50

    Can you try the steps suggested in [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/37228413/6698642) ? Step 3 seems to have worked for a lot of people with broken `pip` but working `python -m pip`. – shriakhilc Dec 27 '21 at 18:57
