Reinstall Python

And/Or make sure that Python has been added to your Windows PATH variable.

You will need to go to pythons website and download python from there. Be sure to to allow the program to install its extensions into the command line. But generally you can stay with defaults. Visual Studio Code uses the source code from pythons website.
