I uninstall python 3.7.3 64-bit and installed python 3.10.4 64-bit on windows. but every time I launch vscode it automatically gets the 3.7.3 version even after I uninstall it. and it shows python 3.7.3 global. after uninstalling 3.7.3 from the control panel it still works in vscode I don't know why?

4Check your PATH system environment variable. Probably there's path to old python folder set – Rafael Apr 12 '22 at 09:43

If you're referring to the interpreter you can set the default interpreter path in the user settings: user settings > extensions > python > default interpreter – ChaddRobertson Apr 12 '22 at 10:19

As shown in the interface, select the first one to modify the python version in vscode. – MingJie-MSFT Apr 13 '22 at 07:00

Firstly find path of python310.exe (name can be different) it is in Python3.10 folder after that go VsCode . Click Settings Choose User > Extensions>Python > Python Path . Remember the path is not complete. So, add “\python.exe” in the end.
