On Windows, you need to add Python to your PATH. Try this How to add Python to PATH

And check if Python is installed correctly and restart your PC on this Question restarting the PC helped

CodePudding user response：

You need to add the path to your environment variables.

You should go to Control Panel>System and Security>System>Advanced System Settings>Environment Variables

Then select edit PATH and append the path to your python executable:

C:\Users\{your_user}\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\{your_python_executable}
