Is there a way to fix Python Interpreter error in VSCode?

Question

Has anybody seen this error while trying to to choose the python interpreter in VSCode?
enter image description here

I immediately get an error when trying to find an appropriate interpreter. Is there any way around this problem? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both VSCode and Python but nothing seems to work.

Thank you all in advance.

Did you install the recommended Python extensions? It says you're in "restricted mode". — Tim Roberts, Oct 07 '22 at 04:17
Yes, the extension was installed. But I managed to fix it thank you. — Mahta, Oct 07 '22 at 23:52

Read the docs first.

Please ensure that python and python extensions are installed, and then select python interpreter(Ctrl+Shift+P then Python: Select Interpreter).

I tried all the uninstalling, cleaning and reinstalling in the world which didn't fix it, for me eventually this fixed the issue:

Click Restricted Mode in the bottom-left corner and click trust to trust this window.

Now you can use Ctrl + Shift + P to select the Python interpreter and you won't get the error where nothing seems to point at the workspace restriction being the problem.
