Re: Unable to Launch Python 2.7 after Windows 8.1 Update

In case it matters: do you know what version of Win8.1 it was? Enterprise? Professional? TJG -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I would've suggested re-installing Python. That would've been worth trying. Unfortunately, I did uninstall and re-install Python. It didn't help. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
