The system cannot execute the specified program when using pip

I tried to download colorama, but when I write pip install colorama, there is an error:

The system cannot execute the specified program.

Here is the command input and the output:

C:\Users\ADMIN>pip install colorama
The system cannot execute the specified program.

  1. Verify that python is installed and working: python -V (prints current python version to console)
  2. Ensure that latest pip version is installed: python -m ensurepip --upgrade
  3. Verify pip is working: pip -V (prints current pip version to console)
  4. Install package: pip install colorama

You probably installed pip very recently (first usage ?)

Windows detected it as suspicious and ask you to "unblock" it first.
