PSPad cannot use the Python you installed from the Microsoft Store. The command python in a console still works. That is a different way of starting it.
The Store copy keeps its files in a protected Windows package. Windows lets that package start its own python.exe. It does not let another program, including PSPad, load python3xx.dll from that package. Python itself is in the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python folder with special rights. I am sorry, but Python installed from MS Store can!t be used as the scripting. -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?6,80075,80092> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
