I downloaded Python 3.8.

I downloaded PyCharm Community Edition 2019.3.4. Saved it in new folder in the Desktop directory.

In PyCharm, when I click on File > New Project, I...

1.) Have the location set to C:\Users\User\Desktop\newProject

2.) Have New environment using set to Virtualenv

3.) Have Base interpreter set to C:\ProgramFiles\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_3.8.752.0_x64_qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe

I have a Windows 10 Home computer

When I click on the Create button, I get the attached error.

What can I do?enter image description here

The error says it has access problem while accessing python.exe. Files inside WindowsApps are for systems use and cannot be accessed manually by users due to access permission.

Also you installation does not seem right as python.exe is present inside WindowsApps.

Please follow the simple installation guide for python. You might run into many other problems later.

I would suggest reinstalling python. It should go directly into C:/ drive or C:/ProgramFiles.
