Pip not installing during virtualenv venv

Question

I have created several virtual environments using virtualenv venv for the past few weeks. But it suddenly does not work. When I do a deeper check, the installation will stopped at pip stage. I have tried virtualenv venv and virtualenv venv -v. I have also tried virtualenv venv --no-pip which further confirms that the issue lies within pip.
